Abstract

Density functional calculations with the exact exchange (EXX) could potentially lead to an improved description of the electronic structure of surfaces and slabs. As soon as EXX is utilized, plane-wave pseudopotential (PWPP) calculations for slabs suffer from limitations of the plane-wave representation of the Kohn-Sham states in the vacuum between the replicas of the slab. Far outside the slab, however, the PWPP states can be extended by the analytically known asymptotic states of a single slab in a rather robust fashion. The resulting real-space states allow us to perform EXX calculations with the Krieger-Li-Iafrate approximation for very wide vacua.
