2.5 The GW approximation 17<br />

Vertex function:<br />

∫<br />

Γ(1,2,3) = δ(1,2)δ(1,3) +<br />

Dielectric function:<br />

d(4567) ∂Σ(1,2) G(4,6)G(7,5)Γ(6,7,3) (2.22)<br />

∂G(4,5)<br />

ε = 1 − νP (2.23)<br />

The screened potential W can also be written as<br />

∫<br />

W(1,2) =<br />

d(3)ε −1 (1,3)ν(3,2) (2.24)<br />

From Hedin’s equations, we know how to calculate the self-energy. Although the GWΓ<br />

method is implemented in a future version of <strong>TOMBO</strong>, the following GW approximation is<br />

needed for the moment.<br />

2.5 The GW approximation<br />

A practical approximation to calculate Σ is the GW approximation proposed by Hedin<br />

[17]. In this GW approximation, the vertex function Γ is approximated in its zeroth-order<br />

form, Γ(1,2,3) = δ(12)δ(13). So the Hedin’s equations become:<br />

Σ(1,2) = iG(1,2)W(1 + ,2) (2.25)<br />

∫∫<br />

G(1,2) = G 0 (1,2) +<br />

d(3)d(4)G 0 (1,3)Σ(3,4)G(4,2) (2.26)<br />

P(1,2) = −iG(1,2)G(2,1) (2.27)<br />

∫∫<br />

W(1,2) = ν(1,2) +<br />

d(3)d(4)ν(1,3)P(3,4)W(4,2) (2.28)<br />

This self-consistent GW calculation is possible in <strong>TOMBO</strong> by setting the first character<br />

of iApp as “G” in INPUT.inp, although crystal calculation and numerical ω integration<br />

(which will be explained below) are not available now.<br />

The explicit form of the self-energy Σ in the GW approximation is given by<br />

Σ GW (r,r ′ ;ε) = i ∫<br />

2π<br />

dωe −i0+ω G(r,r ′ ;ε − ω)W(r,r ′ ;ω) (2.29)
