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…

The emergence of magnetism in otherwise nonmagnetic compounds and its underlying mechanisms have become the subject of intense research. Here we demonstrate that the nonmagnetic oxygen vacancies are responsible for an unconventional…

The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) has been broadly used to investigate the excited-state properties of various molecular systems. However, the current TDDFT heavily relies on outcomes from the corresponding ground-state…

We investigate the effects of the $\sqrt{5}\times\sqrt{5}$ Fe vacancy ordering on the orbital and magnetic order in (K,Tl,Cs)$_y$Fe$_{2-x}$Se$_2$ using a three-orbital ($t_{2g}$) tight-binding Hamiltonian with generalized Hubbard…

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of defect levels in semiconductors based on approximate functionals are subject to considerable uncertainties, in particular due to inaccurate band gap energies. Testing previous correction…

Orbital-optimized density functional theory (DFT) has emerged as an alternative to time-dependent (TD) DFT capable of describing difficult excited states with significant electron density redistribution, such as charge-transfer, Rydberg,…

Large scale first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) employing two different methods (atomic orbitals and plane wave basis sets) were used to study the energetics, geometry, the electronic charge redistribution…

The modification of the properties of CeO$_2$ through aliovalent doping are investigated within the \emph{ab-initio} density functional theory framework. Lattice parameters, dopant atomic radii, bulk moduli and thermal expansion…

We have analyzed two mechanisms proposed recently for superconductivity in doped SrTiO3 - the plasmon-mediated pairing and the potential of an instantaneous attraction between two electrons that owes its origin to the exchange by…

Using density-functional theory (DFT) we calculate the Gibbs free energy to determine the lowest-energy structure of a RuO_2(110) surface in thermodynamic equilibrium with an oxygen-rich environment. The traditionally assumed stoichiometric…

Oxygen vacancies in two-dimensional metal-oxide structures garner much attention due to unique conductive, magnetic and even superconductive functionalities they induce. Ferroelectric domain walls have been a prominent recent example…
