Density functional theory has been employed to study graphene on the (111), (100) and (110) surfaces of silicon (Si) substrates. There are several interesting findings. First, carbon atoms in graphene form covalent bonds with Si atoms, when…

A system of soft ellipsoid molecules confined between two planar walls is studied using classical Density Functional Theory (DFT). Both the isotropic and nematic phases are considered. The excess free energy is evaluated using two different…

WO3 thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition and spectroscopic ellipsometry data gathered in the photon energy range of 0.72-8.5 eV and from multiple samples was utilized to determine the frequency dependent complex-valued isotropic…

Electric field, uniform within the slab, emerging due to Fermi level pinning at its both sides is analyzed using DFT simulations of the SiC surface slabs of different thickness. It is shown that for thicker slab the field is nonuniform and…

We use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to show that oxygen vacancies ($v_\mathrm{O}$) and mobility induce noncentrosymmetric polar structures in SrTi$_{1-x-y}$Fe$_{x}$Co$_{y}$O$_{3-\delta}$ ($x=y=0.125$) with $\delta = \{0.125,…

Indium selenide is a phase-change chalcogenide whose polymorphism enables a variety of physical properties to be tuned. Here we directly quantify the evolution of the surface work function across the amorphous-to-crystalline transition in…

The very good performance of modern density functional theory for molecular geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies has been well established. We investigate the performance of density functional theory (DFT) for quartic force…

We study, using Density Functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations, aqueous electrolyte solutions between charged infinite planar surfaces, in a contact with a bulk salt reservoir. In agreement with recent experimental observations [Z.…

Understanding the structure of ZnO surface reconstructions and their resultant properties is crucial to the rational design of ZnO-containing devices ranging from optoelectronics to catalysts. Here, we are motivated by recent experimental…

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…

The incorporation of o-MAX phases, characterized by out-of-plane atomic arrangements, provides valuable extensions to the MAX phase family, driven by their superior thermomechanical properties, which are suitable for high-temperature…

A detailed exploration of the $f$-atomic orbital occupancy space for UO$_2$ is performed using a first principles approach based on density functional theory (DFT), employing a full hybrid functional within a systematic basis set.…

The relationship between the work function (Phi) and the surface stability of compounds is, to our knowledge, unknown, but very important for applications such as organic light-emitting diodes. This relation is studied using…

First principles linear combinations of Gaussian type orbitals-fitting function (LCGTO-FF) electronic structure calculations are used to study thickness dependencies in the surface energies and work functions of ultra-thin (111) films of…

To explore the applicability of orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) in nuclear physics, we perform a systematic benchmark of 36 one-point kinetic energy density functionals, which are originally developed for electron systems in…

Recently, it was established that a two-dimensional electron system can arise at the interface between two oxide insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. This paradigmatic example exhibits metallic behaviour and magnetic properties between…

Recent density functional theory (DFT) calculations for KFe2As2 have shown to be insufficient to satisfactorily describe angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements as well as observed de Haas van Alphen (dHvA) frequencies. In the…

We present density functional theory (DFT) calculations for 6H-SiC$\{0001\}$ surfaces with different surface stackings and terminations. We compare the relative stability of different $(0001)$ and $(000\bar1)$ surfaces in terms of their…

Local density approximation (LDA) to the density functional theory (DFT) has continuous derivative of total energy as a number of electrons function and continuous exchange-correlation potential, while in exact DFT both should be…
