Insight into the electronic structure of semiconducting epsilon-GaSe and epsilon-InSe

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Daniela Pacilè, Alberto Crepaldi

Metal monochalcogenides (MX) have recently been rediscovered as two-dimensional materials with electronic properties highly dependent on the number of layers. Although some intriguing properties appear in the few-layer regime, the carrier mobility of MX co ...

Finite-size corrections of defect energy levels involving ionic polarization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Julia Anna Wiktor, Stefano Falletta

We develop a scheme for finite-size corrections of vertical transition energies and single-particle energy levels involving defect states with built-in ionic polarization in supercell calculations. The method accounts on an equal footing for the screening ...

Defect Formation Energies of Interstitial C, Si, and Ge Impurities in beta-Ga2O3

Alfredo Pasquarello, Assil Bouzid

Formation energies of C, Si, and Ge defects in beta-Ga2O3 are studied through hybrid functional calculations. The interstitial defects of these elements generally occur at higher energies than their substitutional counterparts, but are more stable at low F ...

Self-consistent site-dependent DFT plus U study of stoichiometric and defective SrMnO3

Ulrich Aschauer, Nicola Marzari, Matteo Cococcioni, Iurii Timrov

We propose a self-consistent site-dependent Hubbard U approach for density functional theory (DFT)+U calculations of defects in complex transition metal oxides, using Hubbard parameters computed via linear response theory. The formation of a defect locally ...

Band Gap of Atomically Precise Graphene Nanoribbons as a Function of Ribbon Length and Termination

Christoph Leopold Talirz, Daniele Passerone

We study the band gap of finite NA=7 armchair graphene nanoribbons (7-AGNRs) on Au(111) through scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy combined with density functional theory calculations. The band gap of 7-AGNRs with lengths of 8 nm and more is conver ...

Koopmans-Compliant Functionals and Potentials and Their Application to the GW100 Test Set

Nicola Marzari, Ngoc Linh Nguyen, Nicola Colonna, Andrea Ferretti

Koopmans-compliant (KC) functionals have been shown to provide accurate spectral properties through a generalized condition of piecewise linearity of the total energy as a function of the fractional addition/removal of an electron to/from any orbital. We a ...

Advantageous nearsightedness of many-body perturbation theory contrasted with Kohn-Sham density functional theory

Christoph Leopold Talirz

For properties of interacting electron systems, Kohn-Sham (KS) theory is often favored over many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), owing to its low computational cost. However, the exact KS potential can be challenging to approximate, for example in the pre ...
