Previous Next Quasiparticle Review Materials Science Home

The talk gives a summary of central results of quasiparticle calculations in the GW approximation. It is based on a review paper that will be published in Solid State Physics 54, 1 (1999). Here is an overview over the topics dealt with in the talk:

1. Introduction
2. DFT vs. GWA
3. GWA: basic equations
4. Physics of the self-energy operator:
   • Local fields
   • Nonlocality
   • Low energies
   • High energies
   • Core electrons 1
   • Core electrons 2
5. Self-consistency and vertex corrections:
   • Self consistency
   • Vertex corrections 1
   • Vertex corrections 2
   • Self consistency + Vertex corrections
6. Accuracy of GWA calculations
7. Applications:
   • Bulk
   • Surfaces
   • Interfaces
   • Exact Exchange
   • d and f electron materials
   • Excitons
   • Atoms
