[Pw_forum] single atom calculations

[Samin, Adib J.]

?Dear Quantum Espresso users,


Is it possible to use Quantum Espresso to calculate the properties of a single atom from a certain element?

It is my understanding that periodic boundary conditions need to be imposed.

Would it be possible to create a sufficiently large unit cell containing a single atom of the desired element?

Any clarifications on this issue would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Adib Samin
