 For periodic GW calculations, a special correction scheme is necessary. A similar problem is appearing in Hartree-Fock calculations. In HF, an easy way out is given by the truncation of the Coulomb operator which works due to the convenient form of the HF equations. GW does not exhibit this convenient form and therefore, this truncation does not work for GW calculations. The theory why a correction is necessary and the correction scheme is described in [[doi>10.1103/PhysRevB.95.235123]] [7]. For periodic GW calculations, a special correction scheme is necessary.

-The basis can be found in {{exercises:2017_uzh_cp2k-tutorial:LiH_BASIS_RI.tar ?direct&400 |}}. Then run the calculation as listed below. The computed gap of LiH with the input from below should be 5.95 eV which is still significantly off from the converged result of 4.7 eV from [[doi>10.1103/PhysRevB.95.235123]] [7]. Here, a basis set extrapolation (as shown above) and a larger supercell are necessary to get closer to the result of 4.7 eV. Please redo the calculation without the flag PERIODIC in the GW section and see that the resulting gap of 11.25 eV is much more off than the gap with correction. +The basis can be found in {{exercises:2017_uzh_cp2k-tutorial:LiH_BASIS_RI.tar ?direct&400 |}}.
