Pseudopotential Methods Conduction electron ψ plane wave like except near core region. Reason: ψ must be orthogonal to core electron atomic-like wave functions. Pseudopotential: replace core with effective potential that gives true ψ outside core. Empty core model for Na (see Chap 10) R c = 1.66 a 0. U ~ 50.4 ~ 200 U ps at r = 0.15 With Thomas-Fermi screening.
