[Pw_forum] question on Nonlinear core correction

[Stefano Baroni]

Dear Guoying: Google is your friend. Typing "non linear core  
correction" in google you would get you several relevant links. The  
most important one is the sixth, which points to the original paper by  
Steven Louie (never mind the title: the non linear core correction is  
important for non-magnetic materials as well)

Have a nice reading.
