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 relative to (xy) plane, i.e. no dipole is entering the vacuum above/below the slab) and a neutral molecule: How can I be sure that an distance L (between slab and a molecule, let it be 10 Angstrom) plane wave DFT code sees them as two non-interacting systems? -- Best wishes, Al., phd candidate in chemical sciences 'I.. a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe' (Richard P.
