The influence of different exchange-correlation potentials on the energy band structure of ScP

Abstract
APW energy band-structure calculations on ScP have been carried out non-self-consistently for a variety of potentials in order to determine the sensitivity of the results to the exchange-correlation potential adopted. It is found that the X alpha vi, the Hedin-Lundqvist (1971-2), and the Wigner exchange-correlation potentials give very similar results. Additional calculations have been performed using various values of alpha for the P and the Sc atoms, and also using l-dependent alpha parameters.
