Phys. Rev. B 34, 2920–2922 (1986)Spin-orbit splitting in semiconductors and insulators from the ab initio pseudopotentialReceived 28 April 1986; published in the issue dated 15 August 1986 In this Brief Report, we give the expressions required for using the vector (spin-orbit) part of the ab initio pseudopotential in a crystalline calculation. Inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction using the vector part of the pseudopotential in first order reproduces the measured spin-orbit splittings in Ge as well as the rare-gas solids and agrees with all-electron calculations. © 1986 The American Physical Society URL:
