The existence of band gaps in Mott insulators such as perovskite oxides with partially filled 3d shells has been traditionally explained in terms of strong, dynamic inter-electronic repulsion codified by the on-site repulsion energy U in…

VO2 is renowned for its electric transition from an insulating monoclinic (M1) phase characterized by V-V dimerized structures, to a metallic rutile (R) phase above 340 Kelvin. This transition is accompanied by a magnetic change: the M1…

We have calculated the properties of SrTiO3 (STO) using a wide array of density functionals ranging from standard semi-local functionals to modern range-separated hybrids, combined with several basis sets of varying size/quality. We show…

The formalism of electronic density-functional-theory, with Hubbard-U corrections (DFT+U), is employed in a computational study of the energetics of U_{1-x} Ce_x O_2 mixtures. The computational approach makes use of a procedure which…

The Density Functional Theory plus Hubbard $U$ (DFT+$U$) technique is one of the most widely used tools by condensed matter physicists and solid state chemists for the simulation of transition-metal and lanthanide bearing crystals, and…

Ferroics based on transition-metal (TM) substituted SrTiO$_{3}$ have called much attention as magnetism and/or ferroelectricity can be tuned by using cations substitution and defects, strain and/or oxygen deficiency. C. A. Ross et al.…

Providing highly simplified models of strongly correlated electronic systems that challenge {\it ab initio} calculations can serve as a valuable testing ground to improve these methods. In this study, we present a comprehensive study of the…

We investigate the formation of self-trapped holes (STH) in three prototypical perovskites (SrTiO3, BaTiO3, PbTiO3) using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations with local potentials and hybrid functionals. First we…

Oxygen vacancies are often attributed to changes in the electronic transport for perovskite oxide materials (ABO$_3$). Here, we use density functional theory (DFT) coupled with non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to systematically…

Cubic hafnia (HfO$_2$) is of great interest for a number of applications in electronics because of its high dielectric constant. However, common defects in such applications degrade the properties of hafina. We have investigated 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…

We use a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to investigate the potential emergence of a charge-disproportionated insulating phase in SrCrO$_{3}$, whereby the Cr cations disproportionate…

For fast and accurate calculations of band gaps of solids, we present an {\it ab initio} method that extends the density functional theory plus on-site Hubbard interaction (DFT+$U$) to include inter-site Hubbard interaction ($V$). This…

Titanium dioxide (TiO$_2$) presents a long-standing challenge for approximate Kohn-Sham density-functional theory (KS-DFT), as well as to its Hubbard-corrected extension, DFT+$U$. We find that a previously proposed extension of…

The combination of density functional theory and single-site dynamical mean-field theory, using both Hartree and full continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solvers, is used to study the metal-insulator phase diagram of perovskite…

SrTiO$_3$ (STO) is the substrate of choice to grow oxide thin-films and oxide heterojunctions, which can form quasi-two-dimensional electronic phases that exhibit a wealth of phenomena, and, thus, a workhorse in the emerging field of…

A density functional theory (DFT) approach to computing transition metal oxide heat of formation without adjustable parameters is presented. Different degrees of $d$-electron localization in oxides are treated within the DFT+$U$ approach…

In electronic structure methods based on the correction of approximate density-functional theory (DFT) for systematic inaccuracies, Hubbard $U$ parameters may be used to quantify and amend the self-interaction errors ascribed to selected…
