Compound-tunable embedding potential (CTEP) method is proposed. A fragment of some chemical compound, "main cluster" in the present paper, is limited by boundary anions such that the nearest environmental atoms are cations. The CTEP method…

The compound-tunable embedding potential (CTEP) method is applied to study actinide substitutions in the niobate crystals YNbTiO$_6$ and CaNb$_2$O$_6$. Two one-center clusters centered on Ca and Y are built and 20 substitutions of Ca and Y…

A method to simulate local properties and processes in crystals with impurities via constructing cluster models within the frame of the compound-tunable embedding potential (CTEP) and highly-accurate {\it ab initio} relativistic…

Small lanthanide clusters have interesting magnetic properties, but their structures are unknown. We have identified the structures of small terbium cluster cations Tb (n = 5-9) in the gas phase, by analysis of their vibrational spectra.…

An interatomic potential (termed EAM-21) has been developed with the embedded atomic method (EAM) for CrFeMnNi quaternary HEAs. This potential is based on a previously developed potential for CrFeNi ternary alloys. The parameters to develop…

Conventional electronics is founded on a paradigm where shaping perfect electrical elements is done at the fabrication plant, so as to make devices and systems identical, "eternally immutable". In nature, morphogenic evolutions are observed…

Filling the large voids in the crystal structure of the skutterudite CoSb$_3$ with rattler atoms $R$ provides an avenue for both increasing carrier concentration and disrupting lattice heat transport, leading to impressive thermoelectric…

Various ternary chalcogenide systems and their properties are one of the hot topics for researchers nowadays. In this article, one of the ternary chalcogenide compounds, CdTl2Te4 is studied including its electronic structures and optical…

We have performed systematic first principles study of the electronic structure and band topology properties of $LnPn$ compounds ($Ln$=Ce, Pr, Gd, Sm, Yb; $Pn$=Sb, Bi). Assuming the $f$-electrons are well localized in these materials, both…

The electronic structures of two mixed valence insulators YbB$_6$ and YbB$_12$ are studied by using the local density approximation (LDA) supplemented with the Gutzwiller method and dynamic mean field theory (DMFT). YbB$_6$ is found to be a…

We construct correlation-consistent effective core potentials (ccECPs) for a selected set of heavy atoms and f-elements that are of significant current interest in materials and chemical applications, including Y, Zr, Nb, Rh, Ta, Re, Pt,…

The periodic Anderson lattice model for the crystalline electric field (CEF)split 4f quartet states is used to describe the Yb-based Kondo insulators/semiconductors. In the slave-boson mean-field approximation, we derive the hybridized…

Charge-transfer effect under odd-parity crystalline electric field (CEF) is analyzed theoretically. In quantum-critical metal $\beta$-YbAlB$_4$, seven-fold configuration of B atoms surrounding Yb atom breaks local inversion symmetry at the…

The crystal structures of ANb$_3$Br$_7$S (A = Rb and Cs) have been refined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and are found to form highly anisotropic materials based on chains of the triangular Nb$_3$ cluster core. The Nb$_3$ cluster…

A recently published correlated electron pseudopotentials (CEPPs) method has been adapted for application to the 3d-transition metals, and to include relativistic effects. New CEPPs are reported for the atoms Sc$-$Fe, constructed from…

Cylindrical re-entrant cavities are unique three-dimensional structures that resonate with their electric and magnetic fields in separate parts of the cavity. To further understand these devices, we undertake rigorous analysis of the…

Building on recent advances of the embedded cluster approach combined with multiconfigurational theory, this work investigates the electronic states in thorium-doped CaF2 crystals. Th:CaF2 is currently establishing as a promising material…

Single-phase samples of Yb4LiGe4 and Yb5Ge4 were synthesized using high frequency (HF) heat treatment. Yb4LiGe4 crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pnma with the Gd5Si4 type of crystal structure and lattice parameters a = 7.0571(1)…

The concept of the effective one-electron potentials (OEP) has been useful for many decades in efficient description of electronic structure of chemical systems, especially extended molecular aggregates such as interacting molecules in…

The electronic structure of the heavy fermion compound CeB6 is probed by resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering using photon energies across the Ce 3d and 4d absorption edges. The hybridization between the localized 4f orbitals and the…
