(Received 10 February 1986; accepted 13 March 1986)
A refined version of the "shape consistent" effective potential procedure of Christiansen, Lee, and
Pitzer was used to compute averaged relativistic effective potentials (AREP) and spin-orbit
operators for the atoms K through Kr. Particular attention was given to the partitioning of the
core and valence space, and where appropriate more than one set of potentials is provided. These
are tabulated in analytic form. Gaussian basis sets with expansion coefficients for the lowest
energy state of each atom are given. The reliability of the transition metal AREPs was determined
by comparing computed atomic excitation energies with accurate all-electron relativistic values.
In all cases the maximum error was found to be less than 0.1 eV. The reliability of the spin-orbit
operators was also considered.
