Zero point vibrations
Something to keep in mind when constructing and evaluating vdW functionals …
Indirect impact
Be careful comparing with experiment!
Electronic structure for T=0
Sometimes consideredEffect of zero-point vibrations on lattice parameters
Long time ignoredEffect of zero-point vibrations on band gaps
Band gaps
Optical gaps
Electronic structure for T>0
Pragmatic approach:Temperature-dependent lattice parametersTemperature smearing to determine Fermi energyVibrational effects ignored
Beyond that:Quasi-harmonic approximation to lattice expansionRenormalization and manybody effects in electronic bandsImpact on optical exciations …Impact on transport …

carries, in principle, the information about ALL kinds of interactionsWhat about phonons?
SWhy should GW results agree with experiment?
