Examine the Oxygen atom only. #%% Determine correctly 18 bonding critical points, #%% 24 ring critical points, and 8 cage critical points. #%% (In agreement with Euler's relation : #BCP-#RCP+#CCP=2) #%% The bonding critical points are quite accurate, #%% while for the ring critical points, the criteria #%% defined by the input variables lstep and lgrad are not fulfilled #%% for all the CP. The coordinates are rather inaccurate. #%% In particular, the symmetry between RCP is broken. #%% This is seen the most clearly at the level of the #%% laplacian eigenvalues. This breaking of symmetry #%% naturally originates from the fact that the FFT grid #%% is not symmetric (the lattice was chosen primitive FCC), #%% so that the finite elements used for the #%% interpolation are also not symmetric. #%% This cannot be improved by just tuning the numerical #%% parameters. Instead, one should consider the Bader #%% analysis in a FCC conventional cell, instead of the #%% primitive one. #%% Get 2 core electrons, 7.6796 valence electrons. #%% The nucleus charge is +8.
