A Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) code for electronic structure calculations, Part II: pwpaw for periodic solids in a plane wave basis

Abstract
The pwpaw code is a plane wave implementation of the Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) method developed by Blöchl for electronic structure calculations within the framework of density functional theory. In addition to the self-consistent calculation of the electronic structure of a periodic solid, the program has a number of other capabilities, including structural geometry optimization and molecular dynamics simulations within the Born–Oppenheimer approximation.

Title of program: pwpaw
Catalogue Id: ADNP_v1_0

Nature of problem
The projector augmented wave (PAW) method, developed by Blochl, is a very powerful tool for performing electronic structure calculations in the framework of density functional theory, combining some of the best features of pseudopotential and all-electron approaches. The pwpaw program finds the one-electron eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for a periodic system, and optionally optimizes or performs molecular dynamics on the atomic positions within the unit cell.
