Abstract

The survey of the various augmented spherical wave (ASW) method starts with an outline of the standard scheme. Within the framework of density functional theory and the (semi-)local approximations it allows for both fast and conceptually simple calculations of the ground state properties of solids. On an introductory level this chapter follows the natural sequence of a self-consistency cycle as usually performed in first principles calculations and explains the main steps comprising the calculation of the basis functions, the electron density, and the effective potential.
