Quaternary chalcogenide compositions have been broadly explored due to their promising potential for various optoelectronic applications. The band structure, density of states and optical properties of CuZn2InS4 and CuZn2GaS4 for kesterite…

Transition-metal-based Heusler semiconductors are promising materials for a variety of applications ranging from spintronics to thermoelectricity. Employing the $GW$ approximation within the framework of the FLAPW method, we study the…

Hybrid density functional (HDF) approximations usually deliver higher accuracy than local and semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation functional, but this comes with drastically increased computational cost. Practical…

In this article, we use hybrid density functional (HSE06) to study the crystal and electronic structures and optical properties of well known phase change memory material $\mathrm{Ge_{2}Sb_{2}Te_{5}}$. We calculate the structural…

We report quasiparticle-energy calculations of the electronic bandstructure as measured by valence-band photoemission for selected II-VI compounds and group-III-nitrides. By applying GW as perturbation to the ground state of the fictitious,…

We perform a comparative \textit{ab-initio} study of Mn-doped Germanium semiconductor using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functional, DFT+$U$ and Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof hybrid functional (HSE). We show that the HSE…

We present an ab initio study of the structural and electronic transport properties of tetrahedrite, Cu$_{12}$Sb$_4$S$_{13}$, in its high-temperature phase. We show how this complex compound can be seen as the outcome of an ordered…

The accuracy of bulk property predictions in density functional theory (DFT) calculations depends on the choice of exchange-correlation functional. While the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional systematically overestimates lattice…

The Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional has become a widely used tool for theoretical calculations of point defects in semiconductors. It generally offers a satisfactory qualitative description of defect properties, including…

Cu$_3$SbSe$_4$ is a promising thermoelectric material due to high thermopower ($>400\ \mu$V/K) at 300K and higher. Although it has a simple crystal structure derived from zinc blende structure, previous work has shown that the physics of…

The quasiparticle band structures of 3d transition metals, ferromagnetic Fe, Ni and paramagnetic Cu, are calculated by the GW approximation. The width of occupied 3d valence band, which is overestimated in the LSDA, is in good agreement…

Hybrid functionals, which mix a fraction of Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange with local or semilocal exchange, have become increasingly popular in quantum chemistry and computational materials science. Here, we assess the accuracy of the…
