摘要
The accuracy of the GW approximation is investigated by evaluating the lowest-order vertex contributions to the energy gap of covalent semiconductors. We compare for silicon the energy shifts of a plane-wave calculation with the results of a variational ansatz in local space. The gap corrections at the GAMMA point are found to be less than 0.1 eV. An analysis of the different diagrammatic contributions shows that there are two counteracting physical processes which lead to partial cancellations.
