Nonorthogonality

Dear Professor:
We have used Openmx 2.3 for calculations of CNT. But we have found that even for test system (diamond, file Cdia.dat)different eigen wavefunctions (from files homo*, lumo*) are not orthogonal to each other and the norm of each eigen wavefunction differ from 1 (it can be ~1.2-2.6). Please, can you explain this problem?

Best regards,
Alexander Fedorov

Hi,

Since the basis set is non-orthogonal, the norm is calculated by
<Psi_mu|Psi_nu> = \sum_{ij} c_{mu,i}^* c_{nu,j} Sij, where i and j
are indices of the basis function, and Sij is the overlap integral
between i and j.

I guess that you may neglect Sij in the calculation.

Regards,
