Abstract

We present a method of deriving effective core potentials (ECP’s) for negative and positive ions. These ECP’s are adapted to ionic crystals and can be used as components of an embedding model in most quantum chemistry codes. Cluster-in-the-lattice calculations of several defects and impurity centers in MgO are examined as a test. © 2001 The American Physical Society.
