Recently in the Wien2k code, the modified Becke-Johnson potential (mBJLDA) was implemented. As the authors [{\em Phys.Rev.Lett.} 102, 226401 (2009)] point, this potential reproduces the band gap of semiconductors with improved accuracy. In…

Very recently, in the 2011 version of the Wien2K code, the long standing shortcome of the codes based on Density Functional Theory, namely, its impossibility to account for the experimental band gap value of semiconductors, was overcome.…

In this letter we present band gaps of II-VI semiconductors, calculated by the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method with the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) potential. The accuracy of the calculated results is…

This paper is a continuation of our detailed study [Phys. Rev. B 86, 195106 (2012)] of the performance of the recently proposed modified Becke-Jonhson potential (mBJLDA) within the known Wien2k code. From the 41 semiconductors that we have…

We have investigated the electronic structures of various potentially half-metallic Heusler compounds with the Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJLDA) potential within the density functional theory. The half-metallic gaps are…

We systematically investigate the topological band structures of half-Heusler compounds using first-principles calculations. The modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential together with local density approximation for the correlation…

Nowadays pseudopotential density-functional theory calculations constitute the standard approach to tackle solid-state electronic problems. These rely on distributed pseudopotential tables that were built from all-electron atomic…

An asymptotic corrected exchange hole potential analogous to Becke-Roussel [A. D. Becke and M. R. Roussel, Phys. Rev. A 39, 3761 (1989)] is constructed by modeling the exchange hole using the generalized coordinate transformation based on…

The modified Becke-Johnson meta-GGA potential of density functional theory has been shown to be the best exchange-correlation potential to determine band gaps of crystalline solids. However, it cannot be consistently used for the electronic…

Atomic effective pseudopotentials enable atomistic calculations at the level of accuracy of density functional theory for semiconductor nanostructures with up to fifty thousand atoms. Since they are directly derived from ab-initio…

The electronic band structures of two-dimensional materials are significantly different from those of their bulk counterparts, due to quantum confinement and strong modifications of electronic screening. An accurate determination of…

It is necessary to employ quasi-particle calculations to correct band gap problems in LDA. As an expedient way for the reliable but massive GWA, Quasi-Particle-LDA (QPLDA) is proposed by several authors, where the total computational cost…

We report a series of calculations testing the predictions of the Tran-Blaha functional for the electronic structure and magnetic properties of condensed systems. We find a general improvement in the properties of semiconducting and…

Based on the work of Gritsenko et al. (GLLB) [Phys. Rev. A 51, 1944 (1995)], the method of Kuisma et al. [Phys. Rev. B 82, 115106 (2010)] to calculate the band gap in solids was shown to be much more accurate than the common local density…

The structural and electronic properties of new structural cubic (GaN)$_1$/(ZnO)$_1$ superlattice have been investigated using two different theoretical techniques: the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method and the…

A remarkable consequence of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density functional theory is the existence of an injective map between the electronic density and any observable of the many electron problem in an external potential. In this work,…

Electronic structure of zinc blende AlN(1-x)$Px alloy has been calculated from first principles. Structural optimisation has been performed within the framework of LDA and the band-gaps calculated with the modified Becke-Jonson (MBJLDA)…

We formulate a spin-polarized van Leeuwen and Baerends (vLB) correction to the local density approximation (LDA) exchange potential [Phys. Rev. A 49, 2421 (1994)] that enforces the ionization potential (IP) theorem following Stein et al.…

We extend the Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme by adding kinetic energy density terms, in order to use meta-GGA exchange potentials, such as the Becke-Johnson or Tran-Blaha potentials, in the planewave-pseudopotential…

Equilibrium crystal structures, electron band dispersions and band gap values of layered GaSe and InSe semiconductors, each being represented by four polytypes, are studied via first-principles calculations within the density functional…
