- LAPW
- In the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) method the unit cell
of the crystal is divided into two different types of regions.
The first one, called the muffin-tin region, consists of spheres
centered around the atoms, while the second one, called the
interstitial region consists of the remaining part of the unit
cell. In the muffin-tin spheres the basis consists of atomic like
functions to account for the rapid changes of the wave function in
this area, whereas in the interstitial region the basis functions
are plane waves, since the wave function changes only slowly at
some distance from the atomic sites.
