What is left out in this approach
*Classical collective modes (plasmons). They can be included at the RPA level. Important at low energies for small systems, not that much for bulk.
*Excitonic effects (electron-hole interaccion). Quite hard to include
*Spectrum beyon Kohn-Sham approx. At the moment just the “scissor operator” to correct excitation energies.

Optical response of 4-Å diameter SWCNT with SIESTA
Testing the accuaracy of SIESTA band structures on graphene:•Including a diffuse 3s orbital we have perfect with PW up to 6 eV•Adding an additional 3p shell the agreement is extended to 10-12 eV
Our band structures for the 4-Å are in very niceagreement with the PW calculations of Li et al.
In fact, ...
