The lattice constant, bulk modulus, and single-particle eigenvalues of Si, Ge, and GaAs are
evaluated by using the local-density approximation (LDA) and the generalized-gradient …

Density-polarization functional theory of the response of a periodic insulating solid to an electric field

X Gonze, P Ghosez, RW Godby - Physical review letters, 1995 - APS
The response of an infinite, periodic, insulating solid to an infinitesimally small electric field
