+ Atomlab is a program which solves the Shrödinger equation for an isolated
+ atom. It takes a small set of parameters as input, and calculates the total energy
+ and radial distribution density of the system. The default is the setup for Be,
+ so if you want to know what the calculation looks like, just hit 'Run Program',
+ and you'll find out what you options are.

+
+
+ The type of approximation used for the exchange-correlation energy, as
+ defined in DFT.
+
+ A figure of +1 here means the atom should have a total charge of +1. This is
+ accomplished by setting the atom number Z to the number of electrons N plus one,
+ i.e, Z = N+1.
+
+ To keep the program from running for ever in cases where it has trouble converging.
+ The default value is reasonable for many systems. Note, however, that you
+ always must make sure that your system has converged properly, which is easiest done
+ by checking that the program quits before exceeding the maximum number of iterations.
+
+ A method-dependent, technical parameter. Here it tells how much, going from one
+ iteration to the next, of the last tentative configuration should be 'remembered'
+ when calculating the new tentative configuration.
+
+ An electron configuration of your choice. For instance, He has the utterly simple
+ configuration 1s2. Be has 1s22s2, which is the default.
+
+ When running the program, the progress of the calculation is shown on-line in your + browser. After completion, you may optionally download the density distribution. + The file consists of three columns of data: distance, density and zero respectively, + all in appropriate atomic units. The file can be used immediately in for instance + matlab, by the command load. +
