List of references to cite for CASINO algorithms

The citation required in any publication quoting results obtained with the current version of CASINO is as follows:
R.J. Needs, M.D. Towler, N.D. Drummond and P. López Ríos, J. Phys.: Condensed Matter 22, 023201 (2010).

Other publications covering the VMC and DMC methods and some of the algorithms used in CASINO are listed below. If you wish to describe or discuss any of these algorithms in your CASINO publications, or use our pseudopotential library, please refer to publications from the list. For some topics with multiple references, the publications most appropriate for the algorithms used in CASINO is asterisked; the other publications give additional information.
