The table shows for bulk Silicon how the value of the exponent of the lowest exponent
gaussian influence the computational resources and the total energy, when all other
computational parameters are fixed. The crystalline basis functions are the Bloch
functions, built with localized functions, the AOs. The diffuse functions, very
important to describe the tails of the electron density in a molecular systems,
are useless in an infinite system, increase the computational cost, but do not
improve the wave function.
Crystalline atomic basis sets are built starting from an atomic basis set
optimized for molecules, and reoptimizing the exponent of the most diffuse
GTF.
