In order to obtain a reasonably accurate and easily implemented approach to many-electron calculations, we will develop a new Density Functional Theory (DFT). Specifically, we derive an approximation to electron density, the first term of…

A time-dependent approach is used to explore inelastic effects during electron transport through few-level systems. We study a tight-binding chain with one and two sites connected to vibrations. This simple but transparent model gives…

Density functional perturbation theory is a well-established method to study responses of molecules and solids, especially responses to atomic displacements or to different perturbing fields (electric, magnetic). Like for density functional…

The Co-intercalated NbS$_2$ (Co$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$) compound exhibits large anomalous Hall conductance, likely due to the non-coplanar magnetic ordering of Co spins. In this work, we study the relation between this novel magnetism and the…

The temperature-induced structural and electronic transformation in VO$_2$ between the monoclinic M1 and tetragonal rutile phases was studied by means of \textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics, based on density functional theory with Hubbard…

We present a combined study based on experimental measurements of infrared (IR) dielectric function and first-principles calculations of IR spectra and vibrational density of states (VDOS) of amorphous alumina (am-Al$_2$O$_3$). In…

Ir-based materials have drawn much attention due to the observation of insulating phase believed to be driven by spin-orbit coupling while Ir 5$d$ states are expected to be weakly correlated due to their large orbital extensions. IrO$_2$, a…

Predicting the compositional phase stability of strongly correlated electron materials is an outstanding challenge in condensed matter physics, requiring precise computations of total energies. In this work, we employ the density functional…

Infrared combination bands of the polar isomer of the N2O dimer are observed for the first time, using a tunable infrared laser source to probe a pulsed slit-jet supersonic expansion in the N2O nu1 region (~2240 cm-1). One band involves the…

Oxygen vacancies are a common source of excess electrons in complex oxides. In Mott insulators these additional electrons can induce a metal-insulator transition (MIT), fundamentally altering the electronic properties of the system. Here we…

The operation of a novel nonvolatile memory device based on a conductive ferroelectric/non-ferroelectric thin film multilayer stack is simulated numerically. The simulation involves the self-consistent steady state solution of Poisson's…

We present a simplified density functional theory (DFT) method to com- pute vertical electron and hole attachment energies to frontier orbitals of molecules absorbed on insulating films supported by a metal substrate. The adsorbate and the…

We have investigated the electronic structure of Ba$_5$AlIr$_2$O$_{11}$ within the density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation while considering strong Coulomb correlations in the framework of the fully…

Single-ion magnetic anisotropy in molecular magnets leads to spin flip excitations that can be measured by inelastic scanning tunneling microscope (STM) spectroscopy. Here I present a semi ab initio scheme to compute the spectral features…

Resonant electron transport through a mesoscopic region (quantum dot or single molecule) with electron-phonon interaction is considered at finite voltage. In this case the standard Landauer-B\"uttiker approach cannot be applied. Using the…

Using non-equilibrium renormalized perturbation theory, we calculate the retarded and lesser self energies, the spectral density rho(omega) near the Fermi energy, and the conductance G through a quantum dot as a function of a small bias…

We formulate the theory for a diatomic molecule in a spatially degenerate electronic state interacting with a non-resonant laser field and investigate its rovibrational structure in the presence of the field. We report on \textit{ab initio}…

From density-functional-theory (DFT) based methods we calculate the vibrational spectrum of the Mn_{12}O_{12}(COOH)_{16}(H_2 O)_4 molecular magnet. Calculated infrared intensities are in accord with experimental studies. There have been no…

In this sequel to our work on triply excited hollow resonances in three-electron atomic systems, a density functional theory (DFT)-based formalism is employed to investigate similar resonances in Li-isoelectronic series (Z=4--10). A…

On the textbook example of an isolated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg dimer, we demonstrate that the magnetic form factor and the magnetic electron density distribution can be extracted from the momentum-dependence of the inelastic neutron…
