Extraction of shape-consistent spin-orbit pseudopotential from an effective spin-orbit parameter and application to the tellurium atom

• A hybrid procedure to extract spin-orbit pseudo-potentials is proposed, taking information from both the orbital shape in the valence region and the atomic spin-orbit splitting. An effective atomic spin-orbit parameter is derived from a Dirac–Coulomb–Fock reference atomic calculation and is then used to extract the spin-orbit pseudo-potential. This method is tested for the ground-state configuration (5s25p4) of the tellurium atom.
