Many astrophysical sources radiate via synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons. The electrons give off their kinetic energy as radiation and this radiative loss modifies the electron energy distribution. An analytical treatment of…

Pseudopotential theory has greatly driven first-principles calculations in materials, replacing the explicit treatment of the chemically inert core electrons with an effective potential acting only on the valence states. This is inherently…
