Using the hybrid exchange-correlation functional within the density-functional theory, we have systematically investigated the structural and electronic properties of MO (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd) in binary rocksalt (B1), zincblende…

SmFeO3 has attracted considerable attention very recently due to the reported multiferroic properties above room-temperature. We have performed powder and single crystal neutron diffraction as well as complementary polarization dependent…

Structural, mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of fluorite and tetragonal phases of ZrH$_{2}$ are systematically studied by employing the density functional theory within generalized gradient approximation. The existence…

The structural stability, electronic properties and NH$_3$ adsorption properties of pristine, Ti, Zr and F substituted $\alpha$-MoO$_3$ nanostructures are successfully studied using density functional theory with B3LYP/LanL2DZ basis set.…

We have carried out a density functional theory study on the structures of DMSO clusters and analysed the structure and their stability using molecular electrostatic potential and quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules (QTAIM). The ground…

We use density functional theory to explore the interplay between octahedral rotations and ferroelectricity in the model compound SrTiO$_3$. We find that over the experimentally relevant range octahedral rotations suppress ferroelectricity…

Spinel ferrites in general show a rich interplay of structural, electronic, and magnetic properties. Here, we particularly focus on zinc ferrite (ZFO), which has been observed experimentally to crystallise in the cubic $normal$ spinel…

The iron carbide $Fe_3C$ is studied by the first-principle density functional theory. It is shown that the crystal structure with the carbon disposition in a prismatic environment has the lowest total energy and the highest energy of…

Contradictory theoretical results for oxygen vacancies in SrTiO$_3$ (STO) were often related to the peculiar properties of STO, which is a $d^0$ transition metal oxide with mixed ionic-covalent bonding. Here, we apply, for the first time,…

The properties of neutral defects in SrTiO3 are calculated using the screened hybrid density functional of Heyd, Scuseria, and Ernzerhof. The formation energies, the crystal field splittings affecting the SrTiO3 band structure, and the…

We study the structural evolution of Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$ as a function of pressure using x-ray diffraction. At a pressure of 54 GPa at room temperature, we observe a first-order structural phase transition, associated with a change from…

In this work using the density functional theory (DFT), we have studied the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of uranium dioxide with antiferromagnetic 1k-, 2k-, and 3k-order structures. Ordinary approximations in DFT, such as…

We have developed and implemented a self-consistent density functional method using standard norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a flexible, numerical LCAO basis set, which includes multiple-zeta and polarization orbitals. Exchange and…
