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
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,...

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?
