A finite temperature linear tetrahedron method for electronic structure calculations of periodic systems. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A finite-temperature linear tetrahedron method for electronic structure calculations of periodic systems is developed. When compared to widely used simple temperature broadening, the number of k points necessary for accurate integration at finite temperatures is reduced. The utility of the method is demonstrated with benchmark calculations on 1D, 2D, and 3D systems.
