Hi all
I calculated XANES by using FEFF8.0.
The manuel of FEFF8.0 demonstrates that basis functions of angular momentum in each atom is used to calculate SCF potential and FMS.
I know some codes use special basis functions of angular momentum like the set of Slater-Type Orbital, contracted Gaussian-type function to describe molecule or solid .
Does anybody know what kinds of basis function is used in FEFF8.0 to calculate SCF and FMS?
and how can I know the contribution of each basis function?
Finally, I read FEFF8.0 uses overlapped sherical muffin-tin(MT) to calculate XANES.
Is the non-muffin tin calculation impossible In FEFF8.0?
