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…

Motivated by the resurgence of electronic and optical property design in ordered fluoride and oxyfluoride compounds, we present a density functional theory (DFT) study on 19 materials with structures, ranging from simple to complex, and…

Density functional theory(DFT) and Hartree-Fock(HF) calculations are reported for the family of transition metal fluorides $\mbox{ScF}_3$, $\mbox{TiF}_4$, $\mbox{VF}_5$, and $\mbox{CrF}_6$. Both HF and the local-density-aproximation (LDA)…

Sun et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 191101 (2016)] suggested that common density functional approximations (DFAs) should exhibit large energy errors for excited states as a necessary consequence of orbital nodality. Motivated by…

We develop a method in which the electronic densities of small fragments determined by Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) are embedded using stochastic DFT to form the exact density of the full system. The new method preserves the…

Proposing new ways to organize carbon in 2D nanomaterials has been a relevant strategy in the search for systems with targeted properties for different applications. One focus is the study of fully sp$^2$ non-graphitic networks, with…

An exchange-correlation energy functional beyond the local density approximation, based on the exchange-correlation kernel of the homogeneous electron gas and originally introduced by Kohn and Sham, is considered for electronic structure…

Accurately modeling the electronic structure of materials is a persistent challenge to high-throughput screening. A promising means of balancing accuracy against computational cost are non-self-consistent calculations with hybrid…

The Tamm-Dancoff Approximation (TDA) offers a computationally efficient alternative to full linear-response Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) for calculating electronic excited states, particularly in large molecular systems.…

We present a critical analysis of the popular fragment-orbital density-functional theory (FO-DFT) scheme for the calculation of electronic coupling values. We discuss the characteristics of different possible formulations or 'flavors' of…

Exact exchange (EXX) Kohn-Sham calculations within an all-electron full-potential method are performed on a range of semiconductors and insulators (Ge, GaAs, CdS, Si, ZnS, C, BN, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe). We find that the band-gaps are not as…

Computationally-efficient semilocal approximations of density functional theory at the level of the local spin density approximation (LSDA) or generalized gradient approximation (GGA) poorly describe weak interactions. We show improved…

LDA+DMFT is a novel computational technique for ab initio investigations of real materials with strongly correlated electrons, such as transition metals and their oxides. It combines the strength of conventional band structure theory in the…

For orbital-free {\it ab initio} molecular dynamics, especially on systems in extreme thermodynamic conditions, we provide the first pseudo-potential-adapted generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional for the non-interacting free…

Semilocal density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy are needed for large electronic systems. The Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) is semilocal and usefully accurate, but…

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…

Precise and accurate predictions of the two-dimensional (2D) material's fundamental gap are crucial for next-generation flexible electronic and photonic devices. We, therefore, evaluated the predictivity of the GW approach in its several…

We study the electronic structure of a spherical jellium in the presence of a central Gaussian impurity. We test how well the resulting inhomogeneity effects beyond spherical jellium are reproduced by several approximations of density…

Density functional theory (DFT) embedding provides a formally exact framework for interfacing correlated wave-function theory (WFT) methods with lower-level descriptions of electronic structure. Here, we report techniques to improve the…

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…
