How much should you shift fragment energies to create an energy level diagram?
I am creating an energy level diagram for the orbitals of [XeF₅] - molecule produced by two fragments: [Xe] 4+ and [F₅] 5-. There is a very large energy difference between the two fragments, so I ...

How to calculate the formation energy of a defect using the unit cell?
I want to dope CuI conventional unit cell using Quantum ESPRESSO.
In previous papers they used different formulas of defect formation energies,and they use supercell. So I'm confused.
What's the ...
