Core-level spectra of 1s electrons of elements heavier than Ne show significant relativistic effects. We combine advances in orbital optimized DFT (OO-DFT) with the spin-free exact two-component (X2C) model for scalar relativistic effects,…
Hubbard-corrected density functional theory, denoted by DFT+U method, was developed to enable correct prediction of insulating properties for strongly-correlated electron systems. UO$_2$ is an example having O-$2p$, U-$6d$, and U-$5f$…
This srudy investigates the influence of relativistic effects on some properties of the halogen group and gold atoms, including their ions. The analysis covers radii, orbital's energy, first and second ionization energies, electron…
The electronic structure and magnetic properties of the strongly correlated material La$_2$O$_3$Fe$_2$Se$_2$ are studied by using both the density function theory plus $U$ (DFT+$U$) method and the DFT plus Gutzwiller (DFT+G) variational…
We present a formulation and implementation of the DFT+\textit{U} method within the framework of linear combination of numerical atomic orbitals (NAO). Our implementation not only enables single-point total energy and electronic-structure…
Relativistic effects in the non-resonant two-photon K-shell ionization of neutral atoms are studied theoretically within the framework of second-order perturbation theory. The non-relativistic results are compared with the relativistic…
We present and discuss results of a density functional theory (DFT) study of a perfect UO2 crystals and He atoms in octahedral interstitial positions. We have calculated basic bulk crystal properties and He incorporation energies into the…
We perform first-principles calculations of electronic structure and optical properties for UO2 and PuO2 based on the density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA)+\emph{U} scheme. The main features in…
In this work using the density functional theory (DFT), we have studied the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of uranium dioxide with antiferromagnetic 1k-, 2k-, and 3k-order structures. Ordinary approximations in DFT, such as…
Uranium dioxide (UO$_2$) remains a formidable challenge for first-principles approaches, due to the complex interplay among spin-orbit coupling, Mott physics, magnetic ordering, and crystal distortions. Here we use DFT+$U$ to explore UO$_2$…
The ab initio computational method known as Hubbard-corrected density functional theory (DFT+$U$) captures well ground electronic structures of a set of solids that are poorly described by standard DFT alone. Since lattice dynamical…
We examine the influence of the relativistic effects within the linear augmented plane wave method (LAPW) for solids and propose a few alternative ways to accurately take them into account: (1) we introduce new radial dependencies for LAPW…
The properties of UO$_{2}$ result from rich $f$-electron physics, including electronic Coulomb interactions, spin-orbit and crystal field effects, as well as inter-ionic multipolar coupling. We present a comprehensive theoretical study of…
To explore the formation of noncollinear magnetic configurations in materials with strongly correlated electrons, we derive a noncollinear LSDA+$U$ model involving only one parameter $U$, as opposed to the difference between the Hubbard and…
Relativistic $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U collisions have recently been used to extract the quadrupole shape of $^{238}$U. In this study, we employ state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) lattice covariant density functional theory (CDFT) with…
Uranium dioxide which is used as a fuel in light water nuclear reactors, is continually exposed to radiation damage originated from the collision of high-energy particles. Accumulation of the resulting defects gives rise to the evolution in…
Ab-initio, self-consistent electronic energy bands of rutile TiO2 are reported within the local density functional approximation (LDA). Our first principle, non-relativistic and ground state calculations employed a local density functional…

In the present work, the atomic and the electronic structures of Au3N, AuN and AuN2 are investigated using first-principles density-functional theory (DFT). We studied cohesive energy vs. volume data for a wide range of possible structures…
The electronic structure of selected rare-earth atoms adsorbed on a free-standing graphene was investigated using methods beyond the conventional density functional theory (DFT+U, DFT+HIA and DFT+ED). The influence of the electron…
