band gap opening on Gamma

#1 Post by giacomo giorgi » Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:56 am

dear all,
I am checking GW calculations on some small model of Silicon surface ( 5 layers, clean, monohydroterminated, dihydroterminated). I wonder why if I do GW calculation for the clean one I obtain the same gap on Gamma between DFT and GW (~0.54 eV at PBE/PAW).
How is it possible? Does it mean that in this case DFT is not lacking in describing the bandgap problem?
Any comment is very appreciated!
Best,
G
