KS

class dqc.KS(system: dqc.system.base_system.BaseSystem, xc: Optional[Union[str, dqc.xc.base_xc.BaseXC]], restricted: Optional[bool] = None, variational: bool = False)[source]

Performing Restricted or Unrestricted Kohn-Sham DFT calculation.

Parameters

  • system (BaseSystem) – The system to be calculated.

  • xc (str, BaseXC, or None) – The exchange-correlation potential and energy to be used. It can accept None as an input to represent no xc potential involved.

  • restricted (bool or None) – If True, performing restricted Kohn-Sham DFT. If False, it performs the unrestricted Kohn-Sham DFT. If None, it will choose True if the system is unpolarized and False if it is polarized

  • variational (bool) – If True, then solve the Kohn-Sham equation variationally (i.e. using optimization) instead of using self-consistent iteration. Otherwise, solve it using self-consistent iteration.
