09/2006 | Radiochimica Acta, Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagThe static and high frequency dielectric tensors, Born effective charges, vibrational spectrum at the Γ point, TO-LO splitting and IR intensities of calcite CaCO3 have been calculated with the periodic ab initio CRYSTAL program, with five different basis sets of increasing size and four different Hamiltonians (HF, LDA, PBE, B3LYP)...
