Dear Giuseppe, Thank you a lot for your reply! Will play with NaCl pair and different levels of theory, looks like a fun system to understand theory better. I do agree that the initial question is not well-defined. To limit the topic to a semiconductor slab (for simplicity let it be symmetrical

Dear Aleksandra I think that your question is a bit ill-defined. There are cases where your practical "golden rule" may be a good rule for, let us say two neutral molecules having more or less the same ionization energy and electron affinity (comparable HOMOs and LUMOs, roughly speaking),

[QE-users] mixing distances

2022-10-17 Thread Aleksandra Oranskaia
Dear QE community, Please suggest what is the "sensitivity" of PW DFT: What is the maximum real distance where wavefunctions of the subsystems mix in a way seen by PW DFT? What is the best way to verify it? My experience, if objects are separated by > 7 Angstrom, their wavefunctions do not mix.
