Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly accurate and computationally efficient method for solving Poisson's equation for systems with mixed boundary conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A novel Poisson solver designed for real-space methods.
  • Implementation for systems with two periodic and one free spatial direction.
  • Utilizes a uniform grid for charge density and potential representation.
