Core LDA density files for the Bader atomic charge analysis

Clicking on a blue-highlighted element in the periodic table will start a download procedure that will transfer a text file containing the density.

These core-electron density files have been generated using the FHI code, in the LDA (PW92 XC functional).
The densities are very weakly dependent on the XC functional choice, and moreover, the Bader analysis is mostly a quantitative analysis tool.
Because of these two reasons, we suggest that these files can be used also for the analysis of density generated with different XC functionals.
Still, for accurate analysis, one should generate density files that are perfectly consistent with the XC functional of the ABINIT simulation.
The FHI .ini file used to generate the density is commented at the end of each file. "nc" is the number of core states considered, and the occupations of the states follow. For example for Sn:

# 50.00 9 2 8 0.00 : z nc nv
#     1  0   2.00      : n  l   f
#     2  0   2.00
#     2  1   6.00
#     3  0   2.00
#     3  1   6.00
#     3  2  10.00
#     4  0   2.00
#     4  1   6.00
#     4  2  10.00
#     5  0   2.00
#     5  1   2.00

gives a core density with 9 states and 46 electrons. The files contain 4 columns: the radial r coordinate, the core density at r, and the first and second derivatives of the core density.
