Density-Functional Theory of Excitation Spectra of Semiconductors: Application to Si
Abstract
This Letter presents a general approach to calculation of the quasiparticle excitation energies of semiconductors which includes the energy dependence of the self-energy with a local density-functional approach. Both direct and indirect band gaps in Si are in much better agreement with experiment than are the bands from the ground-state theory. The relatively large corrections arise only after the dielectric screening of the electron gas is modified to account for a gap in the excitation spectrum.

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.
