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).
