Effective masses and electronic structure of diamond including electron correlation effects in first principles calculations using the GW-approximation

We present calculated interband transitions and effective masses for diamond from first principles including electron correlation effects via the GW-approximation. Our findings are in agreement with experiments, already the first iteration of the GW-scheme gives a direct gap at the gamma-point of 7....
