Dear all,

Where can get the reference related with "SimulateDoping" ?

It is written in the manual (page 71) that "
...
SimulateDoping (boolean):
This option instructs the program to add a background charge density to
simulate doping.
The new “doping” routine calculates the net charge of the system, and adds
a compensating
background charge that makes the system neutral. This background charge is
constant at
points of the mesh near the atoms, and zero at points far from the atoms.
This simulates
situations like doped slabs, where the extra electrons (holes) are
compensated by oposite
charges at the material (the ionized dopant impurities), but not at the
vacuum. This
serves to simulate properly doped systems in which there are large portions
of vacuum,
such as doped slabs.
(See Tests/sic-slab)
Default value: .false.
...
"

Is this "routine" based on a scientific paper ? If so, could anybody send
me its reference ?


Thanks in advance
