In this paper, we study the multi-patch discontinuous Galerkin isogeometric (DG-IGA) approximations for full-potential electronic structure calculations. We decompose the physical domain into several subdomains, represent each part of the wavefunction separately using B-spline basis functions, possibly with different degrees, on varying mesh sizes, and then combine them by DG methods. We also provide a rigorous {\em a priori} error analysis of the DG-IGA approximations for linear eigenvalue problems. Furthermore, this work offers a unified analysis framework for the DG-IGA method applied to a class of elliptic eigenvalue problems. Finally, we present several numerical experiments to verify our theoretical results.
