Abstract

We study the scattering solutions of the Dirac equation numerically for anisotropic, finite range (warped muffin-tin), potentials. In particular, we calculate the partial-wave scattering matrix, ƒAA'(ε) and S-matrix SAA′(ε), for a potential characteristic of crystalline Silicon. We illustrate the consequences of aspherical scattering with reference to Silicon.
