The accurate prediction of band gaps and structural properties in periodic systems continues to be one of the central goals of electronic structure theory. However, band gaps obtained from popular exchange-correlation functionals (such as…

DFT calculations have become widespread in both chemistry and materials, because they usually provide useful accuracy at much lower computational cost than wavefunction-based methods. All practical DFT calculations require an approximation…

For more than three decades, nearly free electron elemental metals have been a topic of debate because the computed bandwidths are significantly wider in the local density approximation to density-functional theory (DFT) than indicated by…

The knowledge of effective masses is a key ingredient to analyze numerous properties of semiconductors, like carrier mobilities, (magneto-)transport properties, or band extrema characteristics yielding carrier densities and density of…

For the theoretical understanding of the reactivity of complex chemical systems accurate relative energies between intermediates and transition states are required. Despite its popularity, density functional theory (DFT) often fails to…

We benchmark many-body perturbation theory against density functional theory (DFT) for the band gaps of solids. We systematically compare four $GW$ variants $-$ $G_{0}W_{0}$ using the Godby-Needs plasmon-pole approximation…

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-$5f$…

Ensemble Density Functional Theory (EDFT) is a generalization of ground-state Density Functional Theory (GS DFT), which is based on an exact formal theory of finite collections of a system's ground and excited states. EDFT in various forms…

Density functional theory (DFT) and many body perturbation theory at the G$_0$W$_0$ level are employed to study the electronic properties of polythiophene (PT) adsorbed on graphene surface. Analysis of charge density difference shows the…

Density functional theory (DFT) stands as a cornerstone method in computational quantum chemistry and materials science due to its remarkable versatility and scalability. Yet, it suffers from limitations in accuracy, particularly when…

Ensemble Density Functional Theory (EDFT) is a promising extension to Density Functional Theory (DFT) for calculating excited states. While Kohn-Sham eigenvalue differences underestimate gaps, EDFT has been shown to provide more accurate…

Metal halide perovskite semiconductors have outstanding optoelectronic properties. Although these perovskites are defect-tolerant electronically, defects hamper their long-term stability and cause degradation. Density functional theory…
