band structure calculations

How are Band Structure Calculations Performed?

Band structure calculations are typically performed using computational methods such as Density Functional Theory (DFT). These methods solve the Schrödinger equation for electrons in a periodic potential, providing information about the allowed energy levels and their distribution. Software packages like VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, and ABINIT are commonly used for these calculations.
