 As a first step, we perform a static self-consistent Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) calculation to obtain the electronic energy. Our model system is the L-alanine crystal, consisting of 13 atoms per molecule and 4 molecules in the unit cell. As a first step, we perform a static self-consistent Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) calculation to obtain the electronic energy.
