Using the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) and SCAN+U approximations for describing electron exchange-correlation (XC) within density functional theory, we investigate the oxidation energetics, lattice constants, and…
We present a new quantum molecular dynamics (MD) method where the electronic structure and atomic forces are solved by a real-space dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Contrary to most quantum MD methods that are based on effective…
The equations of state, formation energy and migration energy barrier of the oxygen vacancy in SrFeO${_3}$ and LaFeO${_3}$ were calculated with the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method. Calculations were also performed with various…
We studied several aspects of the Mott metal-insulator transition in the disordered case. The model on which we based our analysis is the disordered Hubbard model, which is the simplest model capable of capturing the Mott metal-insulator…
Hybrid functionals' non-local exchange-correlation potential contains a derivative discontinuity that improves on standard semi-local density functional theory (DFT) band gaps. Moreover, by careful parameterization, hybrid functionals can…

First-principles simulations of electronic properties of hybrid inorganic/organic interfaces are challenging, as common density-functional theory (DFT) approximations target specific material classes like bulk semiconductors or gas-phase…
