Ewald sum for electronic bilayer systems.
The potential energy of a bilayer two-dimensional system of charges, subject to periodic boundary conditions, is derived. The technique of the Ewald sum has been employed so that the formulas can be applied directly in Monte Carlo and molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Numerical evaluation of the potential energy is carried out to confirm the parameter independence.
