Calculating the Electronic Structure from Pseudopotentials and Plane Waves

This section covers the fundamentals of the plane wave-pseudopotential approach to the Kohn-Sham method. There are many reviews on the pseudopotential plane wave method alone or in connection with the Car-Parrinello algorithm. A good general overview is in the book by Kohanoff [43]. Older articles [44,45] as well as the books by Singh [46] and Martin [47] concentrate on the electronic structure part. Other reviews [48,49,50,51] present the plane wave method in connection with the molecular dynamics technique.
