Gap opening in double-sided highly hydrogenated free-standing graphene
Conversion of graphene into pure free-standing graphane — where each C atom is sp³ bound to a hydrogen atom — has not been achieved so far, in spite of numerous experimental... -
Ab initio real-time quantum dynamics of charge carriers in momentum space
Application of the nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) approach is severely limited to studying carrier dynamics in the momentum space, since a supercell is required to... -
Structural, electronic, elastic, power, and transport properties of β-Ga<sub>...
We investigate the structural, electronic, vibrational, power, and transport properties of the β allotrope of Ga2O3 from first principles. We find phonon frequencies and elastic... -
Mapping uncharted territory in ice from zeolite networks to ice structures
We report a large-scale density-functional-theory study of the configuration space of water ice. We geometry optimise 74,963 ice structures, which are selected and constructed... -
First principles correction scheme for linear-response time-dependent density...
Linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) for core level spectroscopy using standard local functionals suffers from self-interaction error and a lack... -
Relative Abundance of Z2 Topological Order in Exfoliable Two-Dimensional Insu...
Quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHIs) make up a class of two-dimensional materials with a finite electronic band gap in the bulk and gapless helical edge states. Some of the... -
Mott versus hybridization gap in the low-temperature phase of 1T-TaS₂
We address the long-standing problem of the ground state of 1T-TaS₂ by computing the correlated electronic structure of stacked bilayers using the GW+EDMFT method. Depending on... -
Semi-local and hybrid functional DFT data for thermalised snapshots of polymo...
Structure prediction for molecular crystals is a longstanding challenge, as often minuscule free energy differences between polymorphs are sensitively affected by the...
