Reference data of electronic-structure theory

There exist many ab initio methods and computer packages to calculate ground-state properties, the electronic structure or various excitation spectra of materials. The exciting code, developed in the group, is able to provide results of highest precision. It is used to generate materials-science data that are valuable benchmarks for the international community.
