Abstract

Given the widespread use of density functional theory (DFT), there is an increasing need for the ability to model large systems (beyond 1000 atoms). We present a brief overview of the large-scale DFT code conquest, which is capable of modelling such large systems, and discuss approaches to the generation of consistent, well-converged pseudo-atomic basis sets which will allow such large-scale calculations. We present tests of these basis sets for a variety of materials, comparing to fully converged plane wave results using the same pseudopotentials and grids.
