Electron poor materials research group Group meeting Dec 2, 2010 Theory- VASP simple GW calculations on Si and GaAs

 Perform a static calculation on the target structure.  Take the WAVECAR WAVEDER and CHGCAR from the static calculation and then execute the GW calculation.  These runs were done on saguaro using 16 processors.  KPOINT grid: 6X6X6 gamma  Number of Bands: 150
