The material

Bulk hexagonal BN

  • [1] hexagonal lattice
  • Two atoms per cell (16 electrons)
  • Lattice constant a = 4.72 [a.u.] c/a= 2.58

Band Structure

Calculate screening

A key ingredient in the construction of the BS kernel is the screened electron-electron interaction W which is commonly evaluated in the static approximation. yambo -b -F 05_W.in


Steps:

-Calculate screening

-Calculate matrix elements

-Diagonalize Matrix and calculate spectrum

-Visualize/Analyze excitons (with ypp)

-How to Converge

-How to work with SOC
