Abstract

Among many ab initio methods, the all-electron mixed-basis approach using numerical atomic orbitals confined inside non-overlapping spheres as well as plane waves has an advantage in the application to molecular-dynamics simulations of systems composed of second-row and transition-metal elements. As an example, we apply this new approach to atomic insertions through a six-membered ring of C60. We show that a krypton atom can be more easily inserted into a C60 cage than a potassium or copper atom.
