It is shown that it is now possible to include van der Waals interactions via a nonempirical implementation of density functional theory to describe the correlation energy in electronic structure calculations on infinite systems of no…

An adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem approach based on a range separation of electron-electron interactions is proposed. It involves a rigorous combination of short-range density functional and long-range random phase…

A two-parameter extension of the density-scaled double hybrid approach of Sharkas et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064113 (2011)] is presented. It is based on the explicit treatment of a fraction of multideterminantal exact exchange. The…

The projection-based wave function (WF)-in-DFT embedding enables an efficient description of both the energetics and properties of large and complex chemical systems, with accuracy exceeding that of pure DFT. Recently, we have proposed…

We present an approach for computing long-range van der Waals (vdW) interactions between complex molecular systems and arbitrarily shaped macroscopic bodies, melding atomistic treatments of electronic fluctuations based on density…

We develop a proper nonempirical spin-density formalism for the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method. We show that this generalization, termed svdW-DF, is firmly rooted in the single-particle nature of exchange and we test it on…

The newly developed "strongly constrained and appropriately normed" (SCAN) meta-generalized-gradient approximation (meta-GGA) can generally improve over the non-empirical Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) GGA not only for strong chemical…

This work presents a new class of hybrid density functional theory (DFT) approximations, incorporating nonlocal exact exchange in predefined states such as core atomic orbitals (AOs). These projected hybrid density functionals are a…

Exchange-correlation functionals with corrections for van der Waals interactions (PBE-D2, PBE-D3, PBE-D3(BJ), PBE-TS, optPBE-vdW and vdW-DF2) are tested for graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, both in the form of bulk and bilayer. The…

In a framework for long-range density-functional theory we present a unified full-field treatment of the asymptotic van der Waals interaction for atoms, molecules, surfaces, and other objects. The only input needed consists of the electron…

The adsorption of benzene and C60 on graphene and boron nitride (BN) is studied using density functional theory with the non-local correlation functional vdW-DF. By comparing these systems we can systematically investigate their adsorption…

The DFT/vdW-WF2s1 method, recently developed to include the van der Waals interactions in the Density Functional Theory and describe adsorption processes on metal surfaces by taking metal-screening effects into account, is applied to the…

We investigate energetic and electronic properties of TiS2 , an archetypal van der Waals (vdW) material, from first principles, in the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). In this system a recent experimental study showed a…

Using a linear combination of atomic orbitals approach, we report a systematic comparison of various Density Functional Theory (DFT) and hybrid exchange-correlation functionals for the prediction of the electronic and structural properties…

We present an accurate and efficient framework for real-space Hubbard-corrected density functional theory. In particular, we obtain expressions for the energy, atomic forces, and stress tensor suitable for real-space finite-difference…

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures have attracted intense interest worldwide as they offer several routes to design materials with novel features and wide-ranging applications. Unfortunately, at present, vdW heterostructures are…

The past few years has brought renewed focus on the physics behind the class of materials characterized by long-range interactions and wide regions of low electron density, sparse matter. There is now much work on developing the appropriate…

Hybrid density functional approximations (DFAs) offer compelling accuracy for ab initio electronic-structure simulations of molecules, nanosystems, and bulk materials, addressing some deficiencies of computationally cheaper, frequently used…

Accurate computational predictions of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their properties is crucial for discovering optimal compositions and applying them in relevant technological areas. This work benchmarks density functional theory…

We propose hybrid schemes incorporating exact exchange into thermally-assisted-occupation density functional theory (TAO-DFT) [J.-D. Chai, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 154104 (2012)] for an improved description of nonlocal exchange effects. With a…
