Several methods have been developed to improve the predictions of density functional theory (DFT) in the case of strongly correlated electron systems. Out of these approaches, DFT+$U$, which corresponds to a static treatment of the local…

The defining feature of topological insulators is that their valence states are not continuously deformable to a suitably defined atomic limit without breaking the symmetry or closing the energy gap. When the atomic limit is given by…

First principle calculations were performed to study the ground state electronic properties of Barium titanate within the density functional theory (DFT). In our DFT computations, we used Vosko-Wilk-Nusair correlation energy functional and…

In a density-imbalanced bilayer Wigner crystal, where the ratio of electron densities in separate layers deviates slightly from unity, defects spontaneously form in one or both layers in the ground state of the system. Due to quantum…

We use density functional theory (DFT) to explore the physical properties of an $Er_{ W}$ point defect in monolayer $WS_{ 2}$. Our calculations indicate that electrons localize at the dangling bonds associated with a tungsten vacancy…

We investigate the optical property of monolayer and layered BiI$_3$ and reveal the presence of exciton only in the monolayer crystal. We evaluate the energy spectrum of a dielectric function by using time-dependent density functional…

Complex functional materials are characterized by intricate and competing bond orders, making them an excellent platform for evaluating the newly developed Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed (SCAN) density functional. In this…

Density-functional Theory (DFT) approaches have recently been used to judge the topological order of various materials despite its well-known band gap underestimation. Use of the more accurate quasi-particle GW approach reveals here few…
