We have investigated the electronic structure of fluorite Cu$_{2}$Se using density functional theory calculations within the LDA, PBE and AM05 approximations as well as with the non-local hybrid PBE0 and HSE approximations. Our results show…
Density functional theory is routinely applied to predict crystal structures. The most common exchange-correlation functionals used to this end are the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) approximation and its variant PBEsol. We investigate the…
Hybrid density functionals, which replaces a fraction of density functional theory (DFT) exchange with exact Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange, have been used to study the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of delta-Plutonium. The…
Transition metal (TM) oxides play an increasingly important role in technology today including applications such as catalysis, solar energy harvesting, and energy storage. In many of these applications, the details of their electronic…
It has been well established that nitrogen coordinated transition metal, TM-N$_{4}$-C (TM$=$Fe and Co) moieties, are responsible for the higher catalytic activity for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction. However, the results…
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…
The design of novel cathode materials for Li-ion batteries would greatly benefit from accurate first-principles predictions of structural, electronic, and magnetic properties as well as intercalation voltages in compounds containing…
This review discusses the multifaceted electronic properties of spinel oxides with a particular focus on Lithium Vanadate (LiV2O4), Lithium Titanate (LiTi2O4), and Magnesium Titanate (MgTi2O4). We selected LiTi2O4, LiV2O4, and MgTi2O4…
An alternative type of approximation for the exchange and correlation functional in density functional theory is proposed. This approximation depends on a variable $u$ that is able to detect inhomogeneities in the electron density $\rho$…
We present a joint theoretical and experimental study of the oxygen $K$-edge spectra for LaFeO$_3$ and homovalent Ni-substituted LaFeO$_3$ (LaFe$_{0.75}$Ni$_{0.25}$O$_3$), using first-principles simulations based on density-functional…
We have performed collinear and non collinear calculations on neutral Bi4Mn, and collinear ones on ionized Bi4Mn with charges +1 and -1 to find out why theoretical calculations will not predict the magnetic state found in the experiment. We…
We compare the behavior of the finite-temperature Hartree-Fock model with that of thermal density functional theory using both ground-state and temperature-dependent approximate exchange functionals. The test system is bcc Li in the…
The magnetic properties of the transition metal monoxides MnO and NiO are investigated at equilibrium and under pressure via several advanced first-principles methods coupled with Heisenberg Hamiltonian MonteCarlo. The comparative…
We develop a procedure to determine the portion of exact Hartree-Fock exchange interaction contained in a hybrid density functional to treat the range of electronic correlation governing the physics of a system as a function of a…
The cathode properties of Na2MTiO4 (M: transition-metal element) are investigated by means of density-functional-theory calculations. The stability between the layered structure and the disordered structure are focused in comparison with…
The transition metal K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) studies have been carried on LaBO3 (B=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni), La2CuO4 and SrMnO3 compounds. The theoretical spectra have been calculated using transition metal (TM) 4p…
Hybrid nanoparticles allow exploiting the interplay of confinement, proximity between different materials and interfacial effects. However, to harness their properties an in-depth understanding of their (meta)stability and interfacial…
The polyanionic compound Na2MnSiO4 is regarded as one of the promising cathode materials for Na-ion batteries due to good specific capacity with its attractive prospect of utilization of two electrons in the redox processes. So, in this…
The balance between localised and delocalised electron distribution in the N,N'-dimethylpiperazine (DMP) molecule in the 3s Rydberg excited state and in the fully ionised DMP$^+$ provides a valuable test of density functionals, in…
For the large and chemically diverse GMTKN55 benchmark suite, we have studied the performance of density-corrected density functional theory (HF-DFT), compared to self-consistent DFT, for several pure and hybrid GGA and meta-GGA…
