This study introduces a practical and efficient approach to calculate the all-electron full potential band structure in real space using a finite element basis. Instead of the k-space method, this method solves the Kohn-Sham equation self-consistently within a larger finite system enclosing the unit-cell. Non-self-consistent calculations are then performed in the Brillouin zone to obtain the band structure results, which are found to be in excellent agreement with the pseudopotential k-space method. Furthermore, the study successfully observes the band bending of core electrons.
We introduce a practical and efficient approach for calculating the all-electron full potential bandstructure in real space, employing a finite element basis. As an alternative to the k-space method, the method involves the self-consistent solution of the Kohn-Sham equation within a larger finite system that encloses the unit-cell. It is based on the fact that the net potential of the unit-cell converges at a certain radius point. Bandstructure results are then obtained by performing non-self-consistent calculations in the Brillouin zone. Numerous numerical experiments demonstrate that the obtained valence and conduction bands are in excellent agreement with the pseudopotential k-space method. Moreover, we successfully observe the band bending of core electrons.
