Thanks to everybody who replied, I got so many replies that I can't thank everybody individually. Most named sources of information were the article by Payne et al in Reviews of Modern Physics (M.C. Payne, M.P. Teter, D.C. Allan, T.A. Arias and J.D. Joannopoulos, Reviews in Modern Physics, 64, 4, 1992) and the book by David J. Singh (D.J. Singh, "Planewaves, Pseudopotentials and the LAPW method, Kluwer Academic Publishers). Furthermore people recommend the bookchapter on Carr-Parinelo methods by Dominik Marx (to be found at http://www.fz-juelich.de/nic-series/Volume1/marx.pdf) and the following papers: "Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism" Phys Rev B 41 7892-7895 (1990) & "Unified Approach for Molecular Dynamics and Density-Functional Theory" Phys. Rev Lett 55 2471 (1985) & The density functional formalism, its applications and prospects" Rev Mod Phys 61,689 (1989) & "Linear-scaling density-functional-theory technique: The density-matrixapproach" Phys Rev B 53 7147 (1996). Cheers, Martijn Original question: Hi, After having some background in molecular DFT calculations I'm now starting to do some periodic (plane wave) DFT calculations. However, I haven't been able to find a book which treats periodic DFT calcualtions in any detail (plane wave basis sets/ pseudo potentials/ augmented spherical wave basis sets/ ultrasoft potentials/ mixing etc.). So I would like to ask if somebody could advise me a book on this subject.
