Equilibrium crystal structures, electron band dispersions and band gap values of layered GaSe and InSe semiconductors, each being represented by four polytypes, are studied via first-principles calculations within the density functional…

The biphenylene network (BPN) is a notable achievement in recent fabrication endeavors for conceiving new 2D materials. The stability of its boron nitride counterpart, BN-BPN, has been confirmed through numerical investigations. In this…

We performed density functional calculations to estimate the formation energies of intermetallic alloys. We used two semilocal approximations, the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) by Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) and the strongly…

A double hybrid approximation using the Coulomb-attenuating method (CAM-DH) is derived within range-separated density-functional perturbation theory, in the spirit of a recent work by Cornaton {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. A 88, 022516 (2013)].…

This paper investigates some of the successes and failures of density functional theory in the study of high-pressure solid hydrogen at low temperature. We calculate the phase diagram, metallization pressure, phonon spectrum, and proton…

We have investigated the effect of F12 geminals on the basis set convergence of harmonic frequencies calculated using two representative double-hybrid density functionals, namely B2GP-PLYP and revDSD-PBEP86-D4. Like previously found for…

Due to the severe self-interaction errors associated with some density functional approximations, conventional density functionals often fail to dissociate the hemibonded structure of water dimer radical cation (H2O)2+ into the correct…

Multi-center transition metal complexes (MCTMs) with magnetically interacting ions have been proposed as components for information processing devices and storage units. For any practical application of MCTMs as magnetic units, it is…

Experimental studies of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at nitrogen doped graphene electrodes have reported a remarkably low overpotential, on the order of 0.5 V, similar to Pt based electrodes. Theoretical calculations using density…

Within the finite-field Kohn-Sham framework, static electric response properties of diatomic molecules are presented. The electronic energy, dipole moment ({\boldmath$\mu$}), static dipole polarizability ({\boldmath$\alpha$}) and…

We have studied the existence of self-dual effective compact and true compacton configurations in Abelian Higgs models with generalized dynamics. We have named of an effective compact solution the one whose profile behavior is very similar…

Multi-shell fullerenes "buckyonions" were simulated, starting from initially random configurations, using a density-functional-theory (DFT)-trained machine-learning carbon potential within the Gaussian Approximation Potential (ML-GAP)…

We investigate the molecular acceptors 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA), 2,3,5,6-tetra uoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), and 4,5,9,10-pyrenetetraone (PYTON) on Ag(111) using densityfunctional theory.…

The antipolar $Pbcn$ phase of HfO$_2$ has been suggested to play an important role in the phase transition and polarization switching mechanisms in ferroelectric hafnia. In this study, we perform a comprehensive benchmark of density…

The benzene...ethene and parallel-displaced (PD) benzene...benzene dimers are the most fundamental systems involving p-p stacking interactions. Several high-level ab initio investigations calculated the binding energies of these dimers at…

A two-parameter extension of the density-scaled double hybrid approach of Sharkas et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064113 (2011)] is presented. It is based on the explicit treatment of a fraction of multideterminantal exact exchange. The…

We present a new paradigm for the design of exchange-correlation functionals in density-functional theory. Electron pairs are correlated explicitly by means of the recently developed second order Bethe-Goldstone equation (BGE2) approach.…

The density functional theory (DFT) approximations that are the most accurate for the calculation of band gap of bulk materials are hybrid functionals like HSE06, the MBJ potential, and the GLLB-SC potential. More recently, generalized…

Herein, the structure and stability of double icosahedron Ag$_{17}$M$_2$ (M = Ni, Cu, Zn) clusters are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) computations. The results indicate that the clusters favor endohedral configurations…

We calculate properties like equilibrium lattice parameter, bulk modulus and monovacancy formation energy for nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). We compare relative performance of local…
