Machine Learning Band Gap Predictions: Linking Quasiparticle Self-Consistent GW and LDA-Derived Partial Density of States

Shota Tankano, Takao Kotani, Masao Obata +3

Accurately calculating band gaps for given crystal structures is highly desirable. However, conventional first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with…

Efficient implementation of the quasiparticle self-consistent method on GPU

Masao Obata, Takao Kotani, Tatsuki Oda

We have developed a multi-GPU version of the quasiparticle self-consistent (QSGW), a cutting-edge method for describing electronic excitations in a first-principles approach.…

A finite electric-field approach to evaluate the vertex correction for the screened Coulomb interaction in the quasiparticle self-consistent GW method

Hirofumi Sakakibara, Takao Kotani, Masao Obata +1

We apply the quasiparticle self-consistent GW method (QSGW) to slab models of ionic materials, LiF, KF, NaCl, MgO, and CaO, under electric field. Then we obtain the optical dielect…
