FYI, there is a separate BSE code for WIEN2k called BSE@WIEN2k. It seems to require a cluster with hundreds of cores and a large amount of memory as described on slide 23 in the document at: http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/WIEN2k_lecture-notes_2013/DFT_advanced.pdf It cannot be downlo

To properly describe an exciton, which is a two-particle entitie, you need a two-particle theory at least. DFT is a one particle theory, thus it is not suited to properly describe excitonic effects. For solids you must use the Bethe Salpeter Equation (BSE) which is implemented in other codes a
