| dc.description | Reciprocal space methods for solving Poisson's equation for finite charge distributions are investigated. Improvements to previous proposals are presented, and their performance is compared in the context of a real-space density functional theory code. Two basic methodologies are followed: calculation of correction terms, and imposition of a cut-off to the Coulomb potential. We conclude that these methods can be safely applied to finite or aperiodic systems with a reasonable control of speed and accuracy. | |
