------------------------------ Author and contact information ------------------------------ David Vanderbilt dhv@physics.rutgers.edu July 2002 ------------------------ Introductory information ------------------------ Generated in +1 ionic s2d1 configuration; semicore sp shells included. A Zr potential similar to this was generated in the early 1990's, probably by D. King-Smith, using version a5.0.1. However, it was not successfully updated for a7.3.2 and subsequent versions until just now (July 2002) by DV. I did it by changing rinner to 0.9 and this removed problems with negative densities, so constraints are not needed. -------------------- Intended environment -------------------- Mostly for Zr in oxides where it is in the 4+ formal oxidation state. It should probably be OK for metallic Zr too, but I don't think we ever tried it for that. --------------------------------------- Summary of atomic transferability tests --------------------------------------- Nothing to report. ----------------- Solid-state tests ----------------- Nothing to report. ------------- Miscellaneous ------------- Nothing to report.
