Accelerating core-level GW calculations by combining the contour deformation with the analytic continuation of W — •Ramón L. Panadés Barrueta and Dorothea Golze — Theoretische Chemie, Technische Universität Dresden, Bergstr. 66c, 01062 Dresden, Deutschland
Many-body methods, like the GW approximation, have recently proven to be a highly effective tool for computing core-level excitations [1]. In particular, the contour deformation (CD) is an efficient, scalable and numerically stable approach that has enabled core-level calculations on systems up to 100 atoms [2]. In this work, we reduce the scaling of CD applied to core-levels from O(N5) to O(N4), using an analytic continuation of the screened Coulomb interaction W [3]. The new method (CD-WAC) has been implemented in FHI-aims. CD-WAC has been extensively tested on well established benchmark sets like the GW100 and the CORE65, reporting MAEs of less than 5 meV with respect to CD. The theoretical scaling has been confirmed by performing scaling experiments on large acene chains and amorphous carbon. Speedups of 5 times have been attained with CD-WAC for the largest systems.
