<div dir="ltr">Hi, Professor Hutter,<div><br></div><div>I read your paper, and I think when you calculate the electron density based on periodic Gaussian, you need to truncate the periodic Gaussian because it is an infinite series, but it decays fast since the periodic Gaussian is a localized basis set. Am I understanding correctly? </div><div><br></div><div>For electron density represented by planewaves, it also has the same problem, it is an infinite series, and has to be truncated, which is the planewave cutoff. </div><div><br></div><div>Another question, in the Gaussian augmented planewave method, the atomic hard and soft electron density, they are atom-based electron density, and are represented by Gaussian functions, they are also periodic Gaussian, in order to fulfill the periodicity, am I correct?

(Product Gaussian is also a Gaussian). <br> That is,<br> <br> Gaussian_mn(Ri) = Gaussian_mn(Ri+L_unitcell), where L_unitcell is the length for the unit cell in either 1,2 or 3 dimension. <br> 2) if it is the periodic Gaussian, and it should be in order to fulfill the periodicity of electron density, how do you do the calculation? <br> Because the periodic Gaussian is actually an infinite series, that is,<br> Gaussian(Ri) = summation of L (Gaussian(Ri+L), where L = n*L_unitcell, and n is an integer and span from minus infinite to positive infinite.<br> <br> Thanks!<br> <br> Fangyong<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> -- <br> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cp2k" group.<br> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to <a href="mailto:cp2k%2Bun...@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">cp...@googlegroups.com</a>.<br> To view this discussion on the web visit <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/cp2k/e023de64-1040-49bd-a228-2aa4cf0732a5n%40googlegroups.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/cp2k/e023de64-1040-49bd-a228-2aa4cf0732a5n%40googlegroups.com</a>.<br> <br> <br> -- <br> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cp2k" group.<br> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to <a href="mailto:cp2k%2Bun...@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">cp...@googlegroups.com</a>.<br> To view this discussion on the web visit <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/cp2k/OFE157B452.F6F180E1-ONC1258634.0034CF74-C1258634.0034DAA2%40lotus.uzh.ch" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/cp2k/OFE157B452.F6F180E1-ONC1258634.0034CF74-C1258634.0034DAA2%40lotus.uzh.ch</a>.<br> </blockquote></div> </blockquote></div>
