Self-Energy: Σ = Σx + Σc
Σx = iGv: exact (Hartree-Fock) exchange
Σc = iG(W − v): correlation (screening due to other electrons)

Could use total energy method to compute
ǫs = E(N ± 1, s)− E(N)
Ionisation potential: minimal energy to remove an electron
I = E(N − 1)− E(N)
Electron affinity: minimal energy to add an electron
A = E(N)− E(N + 1)

Band Gap of Semiconductors
Band gap: Egap = I −A = E(N + 1)− 2E(N) + E(N − 1)
For solids E(N + 1) and E(N − 1) cannot be reliable computed
In Kohn-Sham the highest occupied state is exact

Ionisation Potential, Electron Affinity and Band Gap
so what about ∆SCF for excitations?
∆SCF: ǫs = EDFT(N)− EDFT(N ± 1, s)
reasonably good for I and A of small finite systems
but:
most functionals suffer from delocalization or self-interaction error(Science 321, 792 (2008))
⇒ the more delocalized the state, the larger the error
only truely justified for differences of ground states ionisation potential, electron affinity excited states that are ground states of particular symmetry
difficult to find excited state wavefunction (density)
excited state density is not unique
separate calculation for every excitation needed not practical for large systems or solids

GW – The Issue of Self-Consistency
Hedin’s GW equations:
G(1, 2) = G0(1, 2) notation: 1 = (r1, σ1, t1)
Γ(1, 2, 3) = δ(1, 2)δ(1, 3)
P (1, 2) = −iG(1, 2)G(2, 1+)
W (1, 2) = v(1, 2) +
∫
v(1, 3)P (3, 4)W (4, 2)d(3, 4)
Σ(1, 2) = iG(1, 2)W (2, 1)
Dyson’s equation:
G−1 (1, 2) = G−10 (1, 2) − Σ (1, 2)
