Total Energy from GW

#1 Post by Malediction » Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:13 am

Can anyone tell me how to get the total energy from a scGW calculation?

I can't find anything in the OUTCAR and the release notes list this feature as being experimental. I urgently need to correlate some total energies with structures.

I apologise is this has been answered here before but I could not find an answer.

GW approach is used to calculate energies of quasiparticles to get more realistic band gaps. Total GW energy is not calculated.
