Linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) calculations are performed for periodic (001) and (111) slabs of BaTiO$_3$ to understand the effects of surfaces on ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$. The (111) slab is found to be much less stable than the…

In this paper, we report the implementation of first-principles calculations of topological invariants Z2 within the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FP-LAPW) formalism. In systems with both time-reversal and spatial…

Ubiquitous Van der Waals interactions between atoms and molecules are important for many molecular and solid structures. These systems are often studied from first principles using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). However, the commonly…

Accurate prediction of electronic and optical excitations in van der Waals (vdW) materials is a long-standing challenge for density functional theory. The recently proposed Wannier-localized optimally-tuned screened range-separated hybrid…

We investigate a recently developed approach [P. L. Silvestrelli, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 053002 (2008); J. Phys. Chem. A 113, 5224 (2009)] that uses maximally localized Wannier functions to evaluate the van der Waals contribution to the…

A new method for the localization of crystalline orbitals for entangled energy bands is proposed. It is an extension of the Wannier-Boys algorithm [C. M. Zicovich-Wilson, R. Dovesi, and V. R. Saunders, J. Chem. Phys. 115, 9708 (2001)] which…

The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method was used to study the crystal structure and electronic structure properties of PbFe0.5Nb0.5O3 (PFN). The optimized crystal structure, density of states, band structure and…

We present a semi-automated method for obtaining an initial estimate of Wannier functions, designed to facilitate the construction of Wannier functions for describing low-energy effective models of solids, particularly those relevant to…

The existence and construction of exponentially localised Wannier functions for insulators is a well-studied problem. In comparison, the case of metallic systems has been much less explored, even though localised Wannier functions…

A robust, user-friendly, and automated method to determine quantum conductance in disordered quasi-one-dimensional systems is presented. The scheme relies upon an initial density- functional theory calculation in a specific geometry after…

First-principles electronic structure calculations have been very useful in understanding some of the properties of the new iron-based superconductors. Further explorations of the role of the individual atomic orbitals in explaining various…
