Abstract

We present an efficient numerical integration scheme (TWOCENT) to be used in the context of automatized parameterization of the density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) method. The accuracy of the integration process is assessed and its range of applicability is discussed. The functionality of the developed code is tested by reproducing the electronic portion of the existing mio parameter sets and by reproducing a series of reference DFT band structures of elemental solids.
