> A review article on band structure calculations.
Pisani's paper quotes CRYSTAL, an ab initio program jointly developed by
the Theoretical Chemistry Group at the University of Torino and the
Computational Materials Science Group at Daresbury Laboratory.
The CRYSTAL program permits the calculation of wave-function and properties
(band structure, density of states, charge and spin density, electrostatic
potential, Fermi contact, elastic constants ..) of crystalline systems,
using a Periodic Hartree-Fock or Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian or various hybrid
approximation, within the Linear-Combination-of-Atomic-Orbitals (LCAO)
approximation.
The program can automatically handle space symmetry (230 space groups, 80
two-sided plane groups, 99 rod groups, 45 point groups are available ).
Monkhorst points are generated for each structure.
Cost 500$ educational.
