Dear Chris Let me also add that you must find a correct and cost-effective balance between a good description of point-defect properties (defects and dopants are usually responsible for color) and of the overall DOS (absorption transitions often involve the quantitative promotion of

My first choice would be some self-interaction corrected functional - for this case special case something like this below (i.e. a perdew zunger SIC functional only on the excess charge) could be the simplest (it used to be implemented in CP):

[Pw_forum] Color centers and charge states

2018-02-19 Thread Christoph Wolf
Dear all, I have recently looked into color centers in ionic solids and I was wondering if someone is familiar with a "reliable approach" to get the charge states right? By that I mean the localization of a charge in let's say Cl defective NaCl should have acquired an excess charge but judging
