Generalized Regular k-point Grid Generation On The Fly
In the DFT community, it is common practice to use regular k-point grids (Monkhorst-Pack, MP) for Brillioun zone integration. Recently Wisesa et. al.\cite{wisesa2016efficient} and Morgan et. al.\cite{MORGAN2018424} demonstrated that generalized regular (GR) grids offer advantages over traditional MP...

Zusammenfassung: | In the DFT community, it is common practice to use regular k-point grids
(Monkhorst-Pack, MP) for Brillioun zone integration. Recently Wisesa et.
al.\cite{wisesa2016efficient} and Morgan et. al.\cite{MORGAN2018424}
demonstrated that generalized regular (GR) grids offer advantages over
traditional MP grids. GR grids have not been widely adopted because one must
search through a large number of candidate grids. This work describes an
algorithm that can quickly search over GR grids for those that have the most
uniform distribution of points and the best symmetry reduction. The grids are
~60% more efficient, on average, than MP grids and can now be generated on the
fly in seconds. |
