Hi Mohammed, Just complementing Michael's answer, in some cases, the quantum dot is so "big" that confinement and surface effects can be neglected. If this is your case, I believe that WIEN2k may be safely used. All the best, Luis 2013/5/15 Michael Sluydts > Hello M

Hello Mohammad, It all depends what you want to do. Wien2k is optimal for calculating properties of periodic structures, so it is mostly recommended for bulk. For confinement effects aperiodic code is recommended. However it is unlikely you will ever be able to calculate optical properties of

Dear Wien2k Community, I am a new user of Wien2k code. I want to know if it is possible to do simulation study of quantum dots using Wien2k. Actually, I am about to start a research on quantum dots based materials for intermediate band solar cells. Therefore, I really need to know the potential
