Which formalism is better suited to model a crystal with defects: Hartree–Fock, Kohn–Sham, or something else?
I would like to add a few aspects to the answer of wzkchem5.
Considering local or semilocal xc functionals for the KS equations, one difference between HF and KS is that HF is computationally more ...

Which formalism is better suited to model a crystal with defects: Hartree–Fock, Kohn–Sham, or something else?
Let me first clarify a few things.
Whether a calculation is Kohn-Sham or Hartree-Fock has nothing to do with whether the calculation is periodic or not. In fact, both Kohn-Sham and Hartree-Fock can ...

Raman Spectra in Quantum Espresso
It would seem that if a crystal system has no Raman-active modes, QE simply won't print out the Raman intensities. To verify this, I tried to simulate the Raman activity of $\ce{NaCl}$ (also a member ...

How are the exponents in a STO-nG basis set obtained?
You are right that the STO-nG basis sets are optimized separately for each individual element (as an isolated atom, rather than as an ion or an atom within a bigger molecule). The exponents are ...

ORCA: Dipole moment of LiH from SP calculation
As suggested by Tyberius, I now expand my comment into an answer.
The true charge density of a molecule is a sum of nuclear and electronic contributions. While the former is a sum of delta functions (...
