DFT Surface Energy Error Correction for LDA and GGA exchange-correlation Functionals. Ref: Phys. Rev. B 73, 195123, 2006.

surf_energy_error(xc_func, atom_no, valence, volume)

Computes the Unit Surface Energy Error for given functional and atom.

Parameters:

• xc_func – Exchange Correlation Functional. Options are “LDA”, “PBE”, “PW91”
• atom_no – Number of atoms in cell
• valence – Valence of each atom in cell
• Volume – Volume of the cell

Returns:

Unit Surface Energy Error in eV/Ang^2
