Dielectric Screening

The dielectric matrix of Gallium Monochloride (GaCl) is computed in WEST by iterative diagonalization, see Fig. 2 of Ref. [02]. The eigenvalues of the symmetrized irreducible polarizability for Gallium Monochloride (GaCl) are reported in Fig. 1. Results were obtained using the program wstat.x of the WEST package.

Spectral Function

The G0W0 spectral function of Gallium Monochloride (GaCl) is computed in WEST with full frequency integration. Results were obtained using the program wfreq.x of the WEST package.
