The topological invariants of band insulators are usually assumed to depend only on the connectivity between orbitals and not on their intra-cell position (orbital embedding), which is a separate piece of information in the tight-binding…

We report a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the Ruddlesden-Popper layered nickelates La$_{m+1}$Ni$_m$O$_{3m+1}$ ($m = 1$ to 6) under pressure. Our results suggest that, while these Ruddlesden-Popper layered nickelates display many…

Recently, the discovery of superconductivity in Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) $\mathrm{La_4Ni_3O_{10}}$ under pressure has further expanded the realm of nickelate-based superconductor family. In this paper, we performed a first-principle study of…

We calculate the electronic structure of several atoms and small molecules by direct minimization of the Self-Interaction Corrected Local Density Approximation (SIC-LDA) functional. To do this we first derive an expression for the gradient…

We present and implement a self-consistent D$\Gamma$A approach for multi-orbital models and ab initio materials calculations. It is applied to the one-band Hubbard model at various interaction strengths with and without doping, to the…

Motivated by the recent experimental evidence of commensurate surface CDW in Pb/Ge(111) and Sn/Ge(111) $\sqrt{3}$-adlayer structures, as well as by the insulating states found on K/Si(111):B and SiC(0001), we have investigated the role of…

A model to describe electronic correlations in energy bands is considered. The model is a generalization of the conventional Hubbard model that allows for the fact that the wavefunction for two electrons occupying the same Wannier orbital…

Motivated by recent experiments realizing correlated phenomena and superconductivity in 2D van der Waals devices, we consider the general problem of whether correlation effects may be enhanced by modifying band structure while keeping a…

First-principles calculations within the weighted density approximation (WDA) were performed for ground state properties of ferroelectric perovskites PbTiO$_3$, BaTiO$_3$, SrTiO$_3$, KNbO$_3$ and KTaO$_3$. We used the plane-wave…

The minimal model for infinite-layer nickelates remains under debate, particularly regarding the hybridization between itinerant interstitial-$s$ and the correlated Ni-3$d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals, as well as the interaction between…

We apply both analytical and ab-initio methods to explore heterostructures composed of a threedimensional topological insulator (3D TI) and an ultrathin normal insulator (NI) overlayer as a proof ground for the principles of the topological…

We use first-principles calculations to find that in infinite-layer nickelates $R$NiO$_2$, the widely studied tetragonal $P4/mmm$ structure is only dynamically stable for early lanthanide elements $R$ = La-Sm. For late lanthanide elements…

The discovery of superconductivity at 80 K under high pressure in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ presents the groundbreaking confirmation that high-$T_c$ superconductivity is a property of strongly correlated materials beyond cuprates. We use density…

We study the sine-Gordon (SG) model at finite densities of the topological charge and small SG interaction constant, related to the one-dimensional Hubbard model near half-filling. Using the modified WKB approach, we find that the spectrum…

Motivated by the recently reported signatures of superconductivity in trilayer La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ under pressure, we comprehensively study this system using {\it ab initio} and random-phase approximation techniques. Without electronic…

Layered Nickelates have gained intensive attention as potential high-temperature superconductors, showing similarities and subtle differences to well-known Cuprates. This study introduces a modelling framework to analyze the tunability of…

The effective interaction of downfolded low-energy models for electrons in solids can be obtained by integrating out the high energy bands away from the target band near the Fermi level. Here, we apply the constrained random-phase…

We explicitly build a generalized local-density approximation (GLDA) correlation functional based on one-dimensional (1D) uniform electron gases (UEGs). The fundamental parameters of the GLDA \textemdash a generalization of the widely-known…

A simple theoretical method for deducing the effective bond-orbital model (EBOM) of III-nitride wurtzite (WZ) semiconductors is presented. In this model, the interaction parameters for zinc-blende (ZB) structures are used as an initial…

Motivated by the recently proposed alternating single-layer trilayer stacking structure for the nickelate La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$, we comprehensively study this system using {\it ab initio} and random-phase approximation techniques. Our analysis…
