The low-temperature structure of A1C60 (A=K, Rb) is an ordered array of polymerized C60 chains, with magnetic properties that suggest a non-metallic ground state. We study the paramagnetic state of this phase using first-principles…

While solid-state materials are commonly classified as covalent, ionic, or metallic, there are cases that defy these iconic bonding mechanisms. A prominent example is given by phase-change materials (PCMs) for data storage or photonics,…

In this article, the electronic band structure $\beta-(Al_xGa_{1-x})_2O_3$ alloy system is calculated with $\beta-Ga_2O_3$ as the bulk crystal. The technique of band unfolding is implemented to obtain the effective bandstructure…

Electronic structure calculations for solids based on many-electron wavefunctions have been hampered by the argument that for large electron numbers wavefunctions are not a legitimate scientific concept, because they face an exponential…

We examine the structural properties of free standing II-VI and III-V semiconductors at the monolayer limit within first principle density functional theory calculations. A non-polar buckled structure was found to be favoured over a polar…

Density Functional Theory relies on universal functionals characteristic of a given system. Those functionals in general are different for the electron gas and for jellium (electron gas with uniform background). However, jellium is…

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…

Three dimensional topological insulators are bulk insulators with $\mathbf{Z}_2$ topological electronic order that gives rise to conducting light-like surface states. These surface electrons are exceptionally resistant to localization by…

We present first-principles calculations on systems consisting of a few layers of graphene and lithium. In particular, we investigate the evolution of the electron-phonon coupling strength with increasing number of layers. We find that, for…

Hyperfine structure of the ground $2^{2}S-$states of the three-electron atoms and ions is investigated. By using our recent numerical values for the doublet electron density at the atomic nucleus we determine the hyperfine structure of the…

The combined fine and hyperfine structure of the $2^3P$ states in $^3$He is calculated within the framework of nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. The calculation accounts for the effects of order $m\alpha^6$ and increases the accuracy…

Tricobalt tetraoxide (Co3O4) is an important catalyst and Co3O4(110) is a frequently exposed surface in Co3O4 nanomaterials. We employed Density-functional theory with on-site Coulomb repulsion U term to study the atomic structures,…

We present the results of first-principles calculations on two possible terminations of the (001) surfaces of SrTiO3 (STO), BaTiO3 (BTO), and PbTiO3 (PTO) perovskite crystals. Atomic structure and the electronic configurations were…

The theoretical formalism of the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT) has been used to study the electronic and geometric structures of SimCn (1<=m, n<=4;n<=m) clusters. An all electron 6-311++G** basis set…

For analyzing quantum transport in semiconductor devices, accurate electronic structures are critical for quantitative predictions. Here we report theoretical analysis of electronic structures of all III-V zinc-blende semiconductor…

Ga$_2$O$_3$ is a wide-bandgap material of interest for a wide variety of devices, many of these requiring heterostructures, for instance to achieve carrier confinement. A common method to create such heterostructures is to alloy with…

Previously reported formulation for electrons on curved periodic surfaces is used to analyze the band structure of an electron bound on the gyroid surface (the only triply-periodic minimal surface that has screw axes). We find that an…

Recently, it was established that a two-dimensional electron system can arise at the interface between two oxide insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. This paradigmatic example exhibits metallic behaviour and magnetic properties between…

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the structure and electronic properties of the liquid Ga-Se system at the three compositions Ga$_2$Se, GaSe and Ga$_2$Se$_3$, and of the GaSe and Ga$_2$Se$_3$ crystals. The calculated…
