Hydrogen bonding is an important non-covalent interaction that plays a major role in molecular self-organization and supramolecular structures. It can be described accurately with ab initio quantum chemical wave function methods, which…

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has set ambitious targets for hydrogen storage materials for onboard light-duty cars which are to be achieved by 2027. One of the major problems in solid hydrogen storage materials is the…

We compare the ability of four popular hybrid density functionals (B3LYP, B3PW91, HSE, and PBE0) for predicting band gaps of semiconductors and insulators over a large benchmark set using a consistent methodology. We observe no significant…

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…

2D materials find promising applications in next-generation devices, however, large-scale, low-defect, and reproducible synthesis of 2D materials remains a challenging task. To assist in the selection of suitable substrates for the…

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…

This study uses the density functional theory (DFT) approach with GGA-PBE to assess the effect of substituting alkali metals in Rb$_{2}$CaH and Cs-doped Rb$_{2}$CaH$_{4}$ on their hydrogen storage potential. To address the challenges…

Hybrid density functional (HDF) approximations usually deliver higher accuracy than local and semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation functional, but this comes with drastically increased computational cost. Practical…

Electronic structure descriptors are computationally efficient quantities used to construct qualitative correlations for a variety of properties. In particular, the oxygen p-band center has been used to guide material discovery and…

Without the use of any empirical fitting to experimental or high-level ab initio data, we present a double-hybrid density functional approximation for the exchange-correlation energy, combining the exact Hartree-Fock exchange and…

The storage of hydrogen (H$_2$) is of economic and ecological relevance, because it could potentially replace petroleum-based fuels. However, H$_2$ storage at mild condition remains one of the bottlenecks for its widespread usage. In order…

We assess the performance of recent density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy of a nonmolecular solid, by applying accurate calculations with the GAUSSIAN, BAND, and VASP codes to a test set of 24 solid metals and non-metals.…

The Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) density functionals are popular for their ability to improve the accuracy of standard semilocal functionals such as Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE), particularly for semiconductor band gaps. They also have a…

Due to the severe self-interaction errors associated with some density functional approximations, conventional density functionals often fail to dissociate the hemibonded structure of water dimer radical cation (H2O)2+ into the correct…
