+ Questions so far ...\\
+ }
+
+ What configuration to chose for C in Si simulations?
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Switch to another method for the XC approximation (GGA, PAW)?
+ \item Reasonable cut-off energy
+ \item Switch off symmetry? (especially for defect simulations)
+ \item $k$-points
+ (Monkhorst? $\Gamma$-point only if cell is large enough?)
+ \item Switch to tetrahedron method or Gaussian smearing ($\sigma$?)
+ \item Size and type of supercell
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item connected to choice of $k$-point mesh?
+ \item hence also connected to choice of smearing method?
+ \item constraints can only be applied to the lattice vectors!
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Use of real space projection operators?
+ \item \ldots
+ \end{itemize}
