gives forces with a considerable oscillation due to the grid, using
the derivative of the orbitals gives a force that is consirably smoother.
This alternative formulation of the forces can be extended to higher orders~\cite{Andrade2010thesis}, to obtain the second order derivatives of the energy with respect to the atomic displacements that are required to calculate vibrational properties as discussed in section~\ref{sec:sternheimer}.
In this case the perturbation operator becomes
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:ionicpertmod}
\frac{\partial V_\alpha(\vec{r}-\vec{R}_\alpha)}{\partial R_i\alpha} =
V_{\alpha}(\vec{r}-\vec{R}_\alpha)\frac{\partial}{\partial r_i}
-\frac{\partial}{\partial
r_i}V_{\alpha}(\vec{r}-\vec{R}_\alpha) r_i}V_{\alpha}(\vec{r}-\vec{R}_\alpha)\ .
\end{equation}
