Special points for Brillouin-zone integrations

Monkhorst, Hendrik J., Pack, James D.·1976·Physical Review B

Abstract

A method is given for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector. The integration can be over the entire Brillouin zone or over specified portions thereof. This method also has applications in spectral and density-of-state calculations. The relationships to the Chadi-Cohen and Gilat-Raubenheimer methods are indicated.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The reference all-electron equations of state used are WIEN2k results from Ref. [6], except for rare-earth nitrides which use WIEN2k results from Ref. [18].

    “The reference all-electron results of the equation of states chosen in this work are the ones of the WIEN2k code [24] reported in Ref. [6], with the exception of the rare-earth nitrides for which we use the WIEN2k results reported in Ref. [18].”
  • Using the SSSP protocol, the authors identify two optimal PSP libraries, named SSSP efficiency and SSSP precision (version 1.1).

    “Leveraging the SSSP protocol, we identify two optimal PSP libraries, named SSSP efficiency and SSSP precision (version 1.1), that provide thoroughly tested and precise PSPs for 85 elements of the periodic table, selected from publicly available PSP libraries [16-22], for which the original authors should be acknowledged.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
