Category:XAS
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a very strong (and experimentally heavily used) method for the characterization of materials. The simulation involves the excitation of a core electron into valence/conduction bands. Since the electron stays strongly localized on the atom for most semiconductors and insulators, the inclusion of electron-hole interactions in the calculations is absolutely crucial. Two methods are mainly used:
- Supercell core-hole (SCH) method [1].
- Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) method.
To get familiarized with XAS calculations one should read the theory behind the method and do the following tutorial: XAS - Tutorial. A how to for the supercell core-hole method gives an overview of the steps needed to perform the calculations.
