Abstract

The SternheimerGW software uses time-dependent density-functional\nperturbation theory to evaluate GW quasiparticle band structures and spectral\nfunctions for solids. Both the Green's function G and the screened Coulomb\ninteraction W are obtained by solving linear Sternheimer equations, thus\novercoming the need for a summation over unoccupied states. The code targets\nthe calculation of accurate spectral properties by convoluting G and W using a\nfull frequency integration. The linear response approach allows users to\nevaluate the spectral function at arbitrary electron wavevectors, which is\nparticularly useful for indirect band gap semiconductors and for simulations of\nangle-resolved photoelectron spectra. The software is parallelized efficiently,\nintegrates with version 6.3 of Quantum Espresso, and is continuously monitored\nfor stability using a test farm.\n
