In the present work, we discuss a numerical approach for GW calculations that takes into account the frequency dependence of the screening via a multi-pole approximation (MPA), an accurate and efficient alternative to current full-frequency methods, that overcomes several limitations of the plasmon pole approximation (PPA).
MPA was recently developed and validated for semiconductors[1]. We now extend the use of MPA to metallic systems by optimizing the frequency sampling for these class of materials and propose a simple method to include the zero q limit of the intra-band contributions. The good agreement between MPA and full frequency results for the calculations of quasi-particle energies, polarizability, self-energy and spectral functions in different metallic systems confirms the accuracy and computational efficiency of the method. Finally, we discuss the physical interpretation of the MPA poles through a comparison with experimental electron energy loss spectra for Cu.
