โฆ Synopsis
It is shown that additional,"correIation" effects are incorporated into semi-empirical model pseudopoicntiais bccause the traditional equations for the theoretical pseudopotentids arc generally based upon a frozen core appro.xirnation. We derive the exact effective valence electron eqktions that are being hick& by the model potentials. It is shown how the energy dependence of model pseudopotent~a~s is partly a reflection'of core polarization effects ffiat are absent in the usual theoretical psaudopotentials, and we comment on possible nonadditivity effects that correct for the assumed decomposition of many-electron pseudopotentials into those for oneelectron uses.
