Self-Consistent Solution to DFT Equations 1. 2. Set up atom positions guess charge density 3. Solve Kohn-Sham equations with this input charge density compute effective potential 4. Compute “output” charge density from resulting wavefunctions compute Kohn-Sham orbitals and density 5. If energy from input and output densities differ by amount greater than a chosen threshold, mix output and input density and go to step 2 6. Quit when energy from input and output densities agree to within prescribed tolerance (e. g. , 10 -5 e. V) Input Positions of Atoms for a Given Unit Cell and Lattice Constant different compare output and input charge densities Energy for Given Lattice Constant same Make initial guess of “input” charge density (often overlapping atomic charge densities) Note: In this module the positions of atoms are dictated by symmetry. If this is not the case another loop must be added to minimize energy with respect to atomic positions. DFT Module Review, The 4 th Summer School for Integrated Computational Materials Education
