First-Principles Theory of Quasiparticles: Calculation of Band Gaps in Semiconductors and Insulators

Hybertsen, Mark S., Louie, Steven G.·1985·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We present a first-principles theory for the quasiparticle energies of semiconductors and insulators. The full dielectric matrix is used to evaluate the nonlocal, energy-dependent electron self-energy operator. Both local-field effects and dynamical screening are found to be essential for understanding quasiparticle energies. Results for the band gaps, optical transitions, and band dispersions for silicon and diamond are in excellent agreement with existing experimental data.

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.
