Description: the GW bandstructure of SrVO3 using VASP and WANNIER90.


Performing a GW calculation with VASP is a 3-step procedure: a DFT groundstate calculation, a calculation to obtain a number of virtual orbitals, and the actual GW calculation itself. In this example we will also see how the results of the GW calculation may be postprocessed with WANNIER90 to obtain the dispersion of the bands along the usual high symmetry directions in reciprocal space.

The DFT groundstate calculation

Everthing starts with a conventional DFT (in this LDA) groundstate calculation:

  • INCAR.DFT
System  = SrVO3

ISMEAR = -5
EMIN = -20 ; EMAX = 20 ; NEDOS = 1000  # usefull energy range for density of states

EDIFF = 1E-8                           # high precision for groundstate calculation

KPAR = 3
cp INCAR.DFT INCAR
  • KPOINTS
Automatically generated mesh
       0
Gamma
 4 4 4
  • POSCAR
SrVO3
3.77706  #taken from 9x9x9 with sigma=0.2 ismear=2

 +0.0000000000  +1.0000000000  +0.0000000000 
 +0.0000000000  +0.0000000000  +1.0000000000
