Abstract
The QSG\ifmmode \hat{W}\else \^{W}\fi{} approximation is presented here. It is an extension to the QSGW formulation [PRB 76, 165106 (2007)] with ladder diagrams in the screening $W$ via the Bethe-Salpeter Equation. Implemented in Questaal (), additional short-ranged correlations in QSG\ifmmode \hat{W}\else \^{W}\fi{} ameliorate much of the discrepancies with experiment for the one-body self-energy and two-body dielectric response in both simple semiconductors and correlated systems such as NiO and CoO, with a stronger effect observed for flat bands.
