First-principles calculations in crystalline structures are often performed with a planewave basis set. To make the number of basis functions tractable two approximations are usually introduced: core electrons are frozen and the diverging…

We present an optimization algorithm to construct pseudopotentials and use it to generate a set of Optimized Norm-Conserving Vanderbilt (ONCV) pseudopotentials for elements up to Z=83 (Bi) (excluding Lanthanides). We introduce a quality…

Fully-nonlocal two-projector norm-conserving pseudopotentials are shown to be compatible with a systematic approach to the optimization of convergence with the size of the plane-wave basis. A new formulation of the optimization is…

A new type of effective atomic pseudopotential for passivation of semiconductor surfaces is presented. It is shown that the spherical approximation used in the effective and empirical pseudopotential methods is not suitable for describing…

A variant of the Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme, where the normconservation is released for only one or a few angular channels, is presented. Within this scheme some difficulties of the truly ultrasoft pseudopotentials are…

The semi-empirical pseudopotential method (SEPM) has been widely applied to provide computational insights into the electronic structure, photophysics, and charge carrier dynamics of nanoscale materials. We present "DeepPseudopot", a…

We extend the recently developed converse NMR approach [T. Thonhauser, D. Ceresoli, A. Mostofi, N. Marzari, R. Resta, and D. Vanderbilt, J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{131}, 101101 (2009)] such that it can be used in conjunction with…

The computational and experimental exploration of the phase diagrams of binary hydrides under high pressure has uncovered phases with novel stoichiometries and structures, some which are superconducting at quite high temperatures. Herein we…

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) evaluate potential energy surfaces orders of magnitude faster while maintaining accuracy comparable to first-principles calculations, and universal MLIPs that cover most of the periodic table…

Two actinide isotopes, $^{241}$Am and $^{244}$Cm, produced and chemically purified by the HFIR/REDC complex at ORNL are candidates for target materials of heavy-ion fusion reaction experiments for the synthesis of new superheavy elements…

Electrides are exotic compounds in which excess electrons occupy interstitial regions of the crystal lattice and serve as anions, exhibiting exceptional properties such as low work function, high electron mobility, and strong catalytic…

Modern materials science has historically been founded on combining restricted subsets of the periodic table, favoring high-purity, few-element systems. However, the demands of an emerging circular economy, together with the need to…

The package fhi98PP allows one to generate norm-conserving pseudopotentials adapted to density-functional theory total-energy calculations for a multitude of elements throughout the periodic table, including first-row and transition metal…

We present a semiempirical pseudopotential method based on screened atomic pseudopotentials and derived from \textit{ab initio} calculations. This approach is motivated by the demand for pseudopotentials able to address nanostructures,…

We present an exhaustive study of more than 250 ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the model dipeptide HCO-L-Ala-NH2. The model chemistries (MCs) used are constructed as homo- and heterolevels involving possibly different RHF and…

The Semiempirical Pseudopotential Method (SEPM) has emerged as a valuable tool for accurately determining band structures, especially in the realm of low-dimensional materials. SEPM operates by utilizing atomic pseudopotentials, which are…

Novel halide perovskites with improved stability and optoelectronic properties can be designed via composition engineering at cation and/or anion sites. Data-driven methods, especially high-throughput first principles computations and…

A scheme is developed for creating pseudopotentials for use in correlated-electron calculations. Pseudopotentials for the light elements H, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, and F, are reported, based on data from high-level quantum chemical…

We show that efficient norm-conserving pseudopotentials for electronic structure calculations can be obtained from a polynomial Ansatz for the potential. Our pseudopotential is a polynomial of degree ten in the radial variable and fulfills…

The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials often provides interesting playgrounds to explore novel phenomena. One of the missing components in 2D vdW materials is the intrinsic heavy-fermion systems, which can…
