Generation of a truncated Coulomb Potential for a 2D material
To simulate a real isolated 2D-layer convergence with vacuum size should be required. The use of a truncated Coulomb potential allows to achieve faster convergence in the vacuum size, eliminating the interaction between the repeated images. (see ref. Varsano) For a 2D system a box-like cutoff in the direction perperdicular to the sheet is applied.
Create the input file:
$ yambo -F 01_wcut.in -r
Open the input file 01_cutoff.in
Change the variables inside as:
RandQpts= 1000000 # [RIM] Number of random q-points in the BZ RandGvec= 100 RL # [RIM] Coulomb interaction RS components CUTGeo= "box z" # [CUT] Coulomb Cutoff geometry: box/cylinder/sphere X/Y/Z/XY.. % CUTBox
0.00 | 0.00 | 32.0 | # [CUT] [au] Box sides
Close the input file and run yambo
$ yambo -F 01_wcut.in
