Efficient Band Gap Prediction for Solids

An efficient method for the prediction of fundamental band gaps in solids using density functional theory (DFT) is proposed. Generalizing the Delta self-consistent-field (ΔSCF [delta SCF]) method to infinite solids, the Δ-sol [delta-sol] method is based on total-energy differences and derived from d...
