The GW self-energy method has long been recognized as the gold standard for quasiparticle (QP) calculations of solids in spite of the fact that the neglect of vertex corrections and the use of a DFT starting point lacks rigorous…
Hedin's $GW$ approximation to the electronic self-energy has been impressively successful to calculate quasiparticle energies, such as ionization potentials, electron affinities, or electronic band structures. The success of this fairly…
Self-consistent vertex corrected GW calculations have been performed to evaluate the equilibrium volume and corresponding bulk modulus of 3d transition metal vanadium. The study demonstrates the feasibility of this approach. The accuracy of…
Theoretical studies of semiconductors and band insulators are usually based on variants of the $GW$ method without full self-consistency, like single-shot $G^0W^0$ or quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$. Fully self-consistent $GW$ provides a…
In past decades the scientific community has been looking for a reliable first-principles method to predict the electronic structure of solids with high accuracy. Here we present an approach which we call the quasiparticle self-consistent…
The $GW$ approximation is a well-established method for calculating ionization potentials and electron affinities in solids and molecules. For numerous years, obtaining self-consistent $GW$ total energies in solids has been a challenging…
With the aim of identifying universal trends, we compare fully self-consistent electronic spectra and total energies obtained from the GW approximation with those from an extended GWGamma scheme that includes a nontrivial vertex function…
Using seven semiconductors/insulators with band gaps covering the range from 1 eV to 10 eV we systematically explore the performance of two different variants of self-consistency associated with famous Hedin's system of equations: the full…
We have developed a new type of self-consistent scheme within the $GW$ approximation, which we call quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ (QS$GW$). We have shown that QS$GW$ rather well describes energy bands for a wide-range of materials,…
We present a diagrammatic approach to construct self-energy approximations within many-body perturbation theory with positive spectral properties. The method cures the problem of negative spectral functions which arises from a…
We test the performance of self-consistent GW and several representative implementations of vertex corrected G0W0 (G0W0{\Gamma}). These approaches are tested on benchmark data sets covering full valence spectra (first ionization potentials…
The $GW$ approximation is based on the neglect of vertex corrections, which appear in the exact self-energy and the exact polarizability. Here, we investigate the importance of vertex corrections in the polarizability only. We calculate the…
Hedin's scheme is solved with the inclusion of the vertex function ($GW\Gamma$) for a set of small molecules. The computational scheme allows for the consistent inclusion of the vertex both at the polarizability level and in the…
We use an all-electron implementation of the GW approximation to analyze several possible sources of error in the theory and its implementation. Among these are convergence in the polarization and Green's functions, the dependence of QP…
The GW approximation in electronic structure theory has become a widespread tool for predicting electronic excitations in chemical compounds and materials. In the realm of theoretical spectroscopy, the GW method provides access to charged…
The vertex function ($\Gamma$) within the Green's function formalism encapsulates information about all higher-order electron-electron interaction beyond those mediated by density fluctuations. Herein, we present an efficient approach that…
The formulation of vertex corrections beyond the $GW$ approximation within the framework of perturbation theory is a subtle and challenging task, which accounts for the wide variety of schemes proposed over the years. Exact self-energies…
Using a novel self-consistent implementation of Hedin's GW perturbation theory we calculate space and energy dependent self-energy for a number of materials. We find it to be local in real space and rapidly convergent on second-- to third--…
We perform $GW$ calculations on atoms and diatomic molecules at different levels of self-consistency and investigate the effects of self-consistency on total energies, ionization potentials and on particle number conservation. We further…
Ab initio many-body perturbation theory within the $GW$ approximation is a Green's function formalism widely used in the calculation of quasiparticle excitation energies of solids. In what has become an increasingly standard approach,…
