KLI with k-points.

Nicolas Tancogne-Dejean requested to merge kli_with_kpoints into main

Description

Implementation of the KLI approximation with k-points. This does not include the spinor case.

The implementation is tested against the results of [PRB 93, 205205 (2016)] for the SCAN XC functional, for Si, GaAs, and C:

  • gKS bandgap (eV)

    • BAND: 0.97 0.8 4.58
    • Octopus: 0.95 0.92 4.78
  • KLI bandgap for Si (eV)

    • BAND: 0.78 0.45 4.26
    • Octopus: 0.76 0.62 4.56
  • Derivative discontinuity (eV)

    • BAND: 0.19 0.34 0.32
    • Octopus: 0.19 0.29 0.22

Octopus calculations are done with SCAN, and are not fully converged with the grid spacing. Also, it is not s clear which lattice parameter and pseudopotentials are used in [PRB 93, 205205 (2016)], and the ZORA effect in this work are not considered here.

Checklist

  • I have checked that my code follows the Octopus coding standards
  • I have added tests for all the new features added in this request.
