UNDER CONSTRUCTION (DV)

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  • calculate quasi-particle correction in HF approximation
  • calculate quasi-particle correction in GW approximation
  • How to choose the input parameter for a meaningful converged calculation
  • How to plot a band structure including quasi-particle corrections

Prerequisites

The HF approximation (yambo -x)

As you have seen in the lectures or textbook the GW self-energy is separated into two components named exchange self-energy (Σx) and correlation self-energy (Σc). We start by evaluating the exchange Self-Energy and the corresponding Quasiparticle energies (Hartree-Fock energies). It is important to note that this way we are adding the HF contribution in a perturbative way to previously calculated DFT energies (E=Eo+Σx-Vxc) and hence they will differ from a standard self-consistent HF calculation.
