[DFTB-Plus-User] DFTB-Plus-User Digest, Vol 59, Issue 2

[刘雷]

Thank you very much for your explaination .The valence band calculated by dftb+ is in agreement with LDA while the conduction band is not,which verifies what you said.
However,what about diamond(C without d electron) ? It's bandstructure by dftb+ shows the same phenomenon as Si.
What's more,by using the DFTB+ in Material Studio,I got the correct bandstructrue of Si.
