In this review, ? density functional theory (DFT) procedure is presented to calculate the Jahn?Teller (JT) parameters in a non-empirical way, which does not depend on the system at hand. Moreover, the intrinsic distortion path (IDP) model that gives further insight into the mechanism of the distortion is presented. The summarized results and their comparison to experimentally estimated values and high-level ab initio calculations, not only prove the good ability of the used approach, but also provide many answers to the intriguing behavior of JT active molecules.

The electronic and structural properties of different members of the Ni-Mn-Ga family calculated by ab initio density functional theory are discussed. From total energy calculations, we show that the martensitic phase is the stable low temperature phase. Moreover, occurrence of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic martensitic phases for Ni2MnGa and Ni2.25Mn0.75Ga, respectively, are explained. Modifications in the density of states near the Fermi level EF are observed across the martensitic transition for Ni2MnGa, as well as in Mn2NiGa. While Ni2MnGa is ferromagnetic, we find Mn2NiGa to be ferrimagnetic. The calculated lattice constants and the magnetic moments are in good agreement with experiment.

The ground and excited state properties of the two carbon allotropes, graphyne (C66H18) (gr1) and graphdiyne (C90H18) (gr2), in the form of nanoflakes were studied with the help of density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).
