Relativistic effects can be included in both the scalar relativistic
[14]
and the full relativistic treatment [3,15].
To specify these, there are three options for the keyword, eq.type,
as follows:
eq.type sch # sch|sdirac|dirac
where 'sch', 'sdirac', and 'dirac' mean the Schrödinger equation
(no relativistic effect), a scalar relativistic treatment, and
a full relativistic treatment of Dirac equation, respectively.
In the scalar relativistic treatment, the coupled Dirac equations
are averaged with a weight of j-degeneracy, and solved
by taking account of both the majority and minority components of
radial wave function. Thus, the scalar relativistic treatment
includes explicitly kinematic relativistic effects (Darwin and
mass velocity terms), and implicitly averaged
spin-orbit coupling (no energy splitting).
On the other hand, in the full relativistic treatment,
j-dependent Dirac equations are solved including both the majority
and minority components of radial wave function.
Thus, energy splitting by spin-orbit coupling are also considered.
In Table 1 shows eigenvalues of atomic platinum calculated by
three different methods, where electron of 6s state is
partially promoted to 6p state.
