BAND计算有效质量本身不需要计算能带,这和其他软件有所不同。其他软件的有效质量一般是从能带曲线,拟合出梯度而得到有效质量,因此是一个数值,也跟能带曲线在k空间的方向直接相关。BAND则是指定k点后,计算该k点附近各个方向的一些k点上,费米能级上下N条能带的值,因此得到的有效质量,对三维周期性体系(例如单晶硅)而言,类似椭球,存在三个轴,三个轴向各有一个值;对于二维周期性体系(例如石墨烯),则存在两个轴,BAND将会给出两个轴向的两个值。
原本不需要计算能带、态密度,不过我们本例中,也勾选了这两项,作为对比: 一般而言,BAND的计算都需要将k点设置为Very Good甚至以上: 关于能带的设置,下图所示数值,是设置能带曲线的细腻程度,数值越小,曲线越光滑细腻,不过一般而言0.01已经非常足够了: 设定要计算有效质量的k点坐标,用空格隔开x y z值: 其中
上面设置只计算费米能级上下各一条能带(上的有效质量)
SCM - Output 接近尾部,依次给出了4个k点,在两条能带上的有效质量:
