The water gas shift reaction (WGS) is important and widely applied in the production of H2. Cu modified perovskites are promising catalysts for WGS reactions in hydrogen generation. However, the structure-dependent stability and reaction…

Examining phase stabilities and phase equilibria in strongly correlated materials asks for a next level in the many-body extensions to the local-density approximation (LDA) beyond mainly spectroscopic assessments. Here we put the…

We investigated the electronic structures of the two-dimensional layered perovskite Sr$_{2}$\textit{M}O$_{4}$ (\textit{M}=4\textit{d} Ru, 4\textit{d} Rh, and 5\textit{d} Ir) using optical spectroscopy and polarization-dependent O…

The electronic and magnetic properties of many strongly-correlated systems are controlled by a limited number of states, located near the Fermi level and well isolated from the rest of the spectrum. This opens a formal way for combining the…

EPW is an open-source software for $\textit{ab initio}$ calculations of electron-phonon interactions and related materials properties. The code combines density functional perturbation theory and maximally-localized Wannier functions to…

Delafossites represent natural heterostructures which can host rather different electronic characteristics in their constituting layers. The design of novel heterostructure architectures highlighting the competition between such varying…

We present the results of numerical studies for selected materials with strongly correlated electrons using a combination of the local-density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). For the solution of the DMFT equations a…

The fundamental quantity governing the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of a crystalline solid is its electronic charge density. Yet, its direct use for the rapid prediction of materials properties remains challenging due to its high…

Prediction of the electronic structure of functional materials is essential for the engineering of new devices. Conventional electronic structure prediction methods based on density functional theory (DFT) suffer from not only high…

Prediction of properties from composition is a fundamental goal of materials science and can greatly accelerate development of functional materials. It is particularly relevant for ferroelectric perovskite solid solutions where…

The Fe$_{n}$GeTe$_{2}$ systems are newly discovered two-dimensional van-der-Waals materials, exhibiting magnetism at room temperature. The sub-systems belonging to Fe$_{n}$GeTe$_{2}$ class are special because they show site-dependent…

The solid-solution SrRu$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$O$_3$ ($0\le x \le1$) is a variable-electron-configuration system forming in the nearly-cubic-perovskite basis, ranging from the ferromagnetic 4$d^4$ to the enhanced paramagnetic 4$d^5$. Polycrystalline…

We apply a recently developed quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ method (QSGW) to Gd, Er, EuN, GdN, ErAs, YbN and GdAs. We show that QSGW combines advantages separately found in conventional $GW$ and LDA+$U$ theory, in a simple and fully…

We present a multi-scale approach to efficiently embed an ab initio correlated chemical fragment described by its energy-weighted density matrices, and entangled with a wider mean-field many-electron system. This approach, first presented…

First-principles simulations of electronic properties of hybrid inorganic/organic interfaces are challenging, as common density-functional theory (DFT) approximations target specific material classes like bulk semiconductors or gas-phase…

Motivated by recent structural data questioning the adequacy of the charge order (CO)/disorder picture for the Verwey transition (at T=T_V) in magnetite, we re-investigate this issue within a new theoretical picture. Using the…

Atomically-thin magnetic crystals have been recently isolated experimentally, greatly expanding the family of two-dimensional materials. In this Article we present an extensive comparative analysis of the electronic and magnetic properties…

The molybdate oxides SrMoO$_3$, PbMoO$_3$, and LaMoO$_3$ are a class of metallic perovskites that exhibit interesting properties including high mobility, and unusual resistivity behavior. We use first-principles methods based on density…

While the traditional local-density approximation (LDA) cannot describe Mott insulators, {\it ab-initio} determination of the Hubbard $U$, for example, limits LDA-plus dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) approaches. Here, we attempt to…

Nanostructures with open shell transition metal or molecular constituents host often strong electronic correlations and are highly sensitive to atomistic material details. This tutorial review discusses method developments and applications…
