Density functional theory has become the workhorse of quantum physics, chemistry, and materials science. Within these fields, a broad range of applications needs to be covered. These applications range from solids to molecular systems, from…

The 3D ternary Li$_2$GeO$_3$ compound, which could serve as the electrolyte material in Li+-based batteries, exhibits an unusual lattice symmetry (orthorhombic crystal), band structure, charge density distribution and density of states. The…

The isostructural {\alpha}-{\gamma} phase transition in cerium is analyzed using density-functional theory with different exchange-correlation functionals, in particular the PBE0 hybrid functional and the exact- exchange plus correlation in…

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…

Density functional calculations are used to study magnetic and electronic properties of the spinel ferrites, ZnFe$_2$O$_4$ and MnFe$_2$O$_4$. Correct magnetic orderings are obtained. ZnFe$_2$O$_4$ is predicted to be a small gap insulator in…

Given that energy scales associated with crystal field splitting, spin orbit coupling and coulomb correlations in iridates are comparable, hence leading to exotic properties, we investigate the physical properties of orthorhombic SrIrO3…

The optical and electronic properties of crystalline Li2TeO3, which is a tellurite glass, is studied in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) implemented software SIESTA. The material has monoclinic symmetrized structure and the…

Plutonium dihydride and trihydride show strikingly similar crystal structures when viewed as close-packed Pu planes with ABC and AB stacking, respectively. The similarity serves as a framework for density functional theory (DFT)…

The stationary functional of the all-electron density functional plus dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) formalism to perform free energy calculations and structural relaxations is implemented for the first time. Here, the first order…

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…

We investigate the electronic structure of BaIrO3, an interesting compound exhibiting charge density wave transition in its insulating phase and ferromagnetic transition at the same temperature, using full potential linearized augmented…

Theoretical investigation of structural, elastic, electronic and bonding properties of A-15 Nb-based intermetallic compounds Nb3B (B = Pt, Os) have been performed using first principles calculations based on the density functional theory…

Density Functional Theory relies on universal functionals characteristic of a given system. Those functionals in general are different for the electron gas and for jellium (electron gas with uniform background). However, jellium is…

The electronic band structures of orthorhombic (oP28) and monoclinic (mC28) MnSb_2S_4 were investigated with ab initio calculations in the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to the density functional theory (DFT). An analysis of the…

In this article, we use hybrid density functional (HSE06) to study the crystal and electronic structures and optical properties of well known phase change memory material $\mathrm{Ge_{2}Sb_{2}Te_{5}}$. We calculate the structural…

Strong interplay of fundamental order parameters in complex oxides are known to give rise to exotic physical phenomena. The 4d transition metal oxide SrRhO3 has generated much interest, but advances have been hindered by difficulties in…

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…
