Electron poor materials research group Group meeting Dec 9, 2010 Theory- Si. Symmetry break bader analysis
Procedure • Break the symmetry of Si by adding a slight atomic shift in POSCAR • Perform a static calculation on the target structure. • Calculate the bader analysis for the compound. • Compare to non-symmetry broken Si.
