-In this exercise we will compare linear scaling with normal SCF methods. We will run simulations on a 2D polymer system containing up to 2400 atoms. The 2D polymer system is described in more detail in this recent publication [[doi>10.1002/adma.201304705]]. To make this exercise computationally feasible, will us the efficient Density Functional based Tight Binding (DFTB) method. It requires only a minima basis, but delivers nevertheless reasonable results due to an empirical correction term called //repulsion potential//.+In this exercise we will compare linear scaling SCF [[doi>10.1021/ct200897x]] with normal SCF methods.
