Theoretical simulation to phase change materials such as Ge-Sb-Te has suffered from two methodology issues. On the one hand, there is a lack of efficient band gap correction method for density functional theory, which is suitable for these…

We introduce in detail our newly developed \textit{ab initio} LDA+Gutzwiller method, in which the Gutzwiller variational approach is naturally incorporated with the density functional theory (DFT) through the "Gutzwiller density functional…

We calculate properties like equilibrium lattice parameter, bulk modulus and monovacancy formation energy for nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). We compare relative performance of local…

This study benchmarks the GFN family of semiempirical methods (GFN1-xTB, GFN2-xTB, GFN0-xTB, and GFN-FF) against density functional theory (DFT) for the evaluation of optimized molecular geometries and electronic properties of small organic…

We describe a massively parallel implementation of the recently developed discontinuous Galerkin density functional theory (DGDFT) [J. Comput. Phys. 2012, 231, 2140] method, for efficient large-scale Kohn-Sham DFT based electronic structure…

We report quasiparticle-energy calculations of the electronic bandstructure as measured by valence-band photoemission for selected II-VI compounds and group-III-nitrides. By applying GW as perturbation to the ground state of the fictitious,…

A complete understanding of a material requires both knowledge of the excited states as well as of the ground state. In particular, the low energy excitations are of utmost importance while studying the electronic, magnetic, dynamical, and…

The LDA-1/2 method is employed in density functional theory calculations for the electronic structure of III-V dilute bismide systems. For the representative example of Ga(SbBi) with Bi concentrations below $10 \%$, it is shown that this…

The magnetic ground state of FeRh is highly sensitive towards the lattice constant. This, in addition to partially filled d-shells of Fe and Rh, posed a significant challenge for Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations in the past.…

A hybrid Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (KS-DFT) and 1-electron Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (1-RDMFT) has recently been developed to describe strongly correlated systems at mean-field computational cost. This approach…

Density Functional Theory (DFT) underpins much of modern computational chemistry and materials science. Yet, the reliability of DFT-derived predictions of experimentally measurable properties remains fundamentally limited by the need to…

By using the quantum Ising chain as a test bed and treating the spin polarization along the external transverse field as the "generalized density", we examine the performance of different levels of density functional approximations parallel…

Recent theoretical work has provided evidence that hybrid functionals, which include a fraction of exact (Hartree Fock) exchange in the density functional theory (DFT) exchange and correlation terms, significantly improve the description of…

The widespread use of (generalized) Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) lies in the fact that hierarchical sets of approximations of the exchange-correlation (XC) energy functional can be designed, offering versatile choices to…

It is believed that the density functional theory (DFT) describes most elements with s, p and d orbitals very well, except some materials that having strongly localized and correlated valence electrons. In this work, we find that the widely…

The stochastic density functional theory (DFT) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 106402 (2013)] is a valuable linear scaling approach to Kohn-Sham DFT that does not rely on the sparsity of the density matrix. Linear (and often sub-linear) scaling is…

We assess the validity of various exchange-correlation functionals for computing the structural, vibrational, dielectric, and thermodynamical properties of materials in the framework of density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT). We…

Following Hollins et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 29, 04LT01 (2017)], we invert the electronic ground state densities for various semiconducting and insulating solids calculated using several density functional approximations within the…

We present a study of the equilibrium properties of $sp$-bonded solids within the pseudopotential approach, employing recently proposed generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange correlation functionals. We analyze the effects of the…

We employ density-functional theory (DFT) in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and its extensions GGA+$U$ and GGA+Gutzwiller to calculate the magnetic exchange couplings between pairs of Mn ions substituting Cd in a CdTe crystal…
