BZ grid and susceptibility for numerical Pauli limit calculation

I am trying to calculate the Pauli limit for a superconducting material with Hamiltonian $H_0$ and an external magnetic field contribution $H_p$. I find the matsubara greens function as $\hat{G} = [i\...

Implemetation of NEGF in TranSIESTA

I have a general query regarding NEGF approach: In TranSIESTA code, when self-energy of the electrodes is calculated, does it require the coupling elements of the electrode with the central scattering ...

Hilbert transform on the Bethe Lattice

In order to compute the local Green's function on the Bethe lattice, it is necessary to perform a Hilbert transform $$G_{loc}(\omega) = \int \frac{DOS(\varepsilon)}{\omega-\varepsilon} \text{d}\...

Calculation of charge transport with the non-orthogonal basis Hamiltonian based on the non-equilibrium Green's function method

I am thinking about one question. If the Hamiltonian matrix is based on the non-orthogonal basis, how to compute the charge conductance with the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) method. Suppose ...

How can I get the projected density of states within the Green's function method?

I have this Green's function matrix $G^r= (E \mathbb{I} - \hat{H})^{-1}$ in the $|\textrm{site}\rangle\otimes|\textrm{orbital}\rangle\otimes|\textrm{spin}\rangle$ Hilbert space, and I am curious if ...

Invariance of magnetic susceptibility when rotating a tight-binding Hamiltonian [closed]

We know the magnetic susceptibility for a non-interacting tight-binding model has the Lindhardt form, for which I express as product of matsubara Green's functions $$\chi^{(0)}(q,\omega)=-\beta\sum_{k,...

Green function KMS boundary condition [closed]

How to obtain the relation between $G_{ab}(\tau,0,0,0)$ and $G_{ab}(\beta-\tau,0,0,0)$ for two-particle fermion Green function $$G_{ab}(\tau_1,\tau_2,\tau_3,\tau_4)=\langle \mathcal{T}a^\dagger(\tau_1)...

About the surface Greens function method for calculating the surface state

Currently I'm using some software package to do the data analysis from the DFT calculation so that I can study the surface state of some topological insulator. I found that the method they use is ...

Given that Kohn-Sham DFT is strictly a ground-state method (at 0 K), how is it sufficient to describe materials in real-life applications?

Kohn-Sham DFT appears to be so popular even though it is strictly a ground-state method - all calculations are done at 0 K. How then, is it so popular when describing materials that have real-life ...

Why is the Nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method for quantum transport not implemented in plane wave codes like VASP and Quantum Espresso?

DFT codes like Siesta, QuantumATK, Questaal, and Smeagol having localized basis sets have NEGF implementations available. But not in plane wave codes like VASP and Quantum Espresso. Why is it so?
