Abstract

We present a density fitted local configuration interaction singles (CIS) method for calculating optical bandgaps in 3D-periodic systems. We employ an Ewald technique to carry out infinite lattice summations for the exciton-exciton interaction, and robust product-density specific local density fitting in direct space for the electron-hole interaction. Moreover, we propose an alternative to the usual cyclic model with Born-von Karman periodic boundary conditions, the so called Wigner-Seitz supercell truncated infinite model, which exhibits much improved convergence of the CIS excitation energy with respect to the size of the supercell. Test calculations on a series of prototypical systems demonstrate that the method at the present stage can be used to calculate the excitonic bandgaps of 3D periodic systems with up to a dozen atoms in the unit cell, ranging from wide-gap insulators to semiconductors.
