Ground state properties of zinc-blende structures ZnS and ZnSe are investigated from first principles using plane wave basis, projector augmented wave method and local orbital-dependent potential, as well as a basis set of Gaussian-type functions with hybrid functionals for the approximation of exchange-correlation energy. The results of DFT calculations with the LDA, LDA+U, GGA, GGA+U, BLYP, B3P86, P3PW, BH-HP, KMLYP and B3LYP approximations are compared. It is shown that the hybrid functional B3LYP provides an accurate quantitative description of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of ZnS and ZnSe in comparison with experimental data.

The way elementary excitations work together with their couplings and interact as condensed matter systems is very important when designing optimum energy-conversion devices. We investigated the electronic structure of LaAlO3, and we show that the bandgap insulator of LaAlO3 obtained theoretically by the hybrid functional HSE06 is an indirect 5.649eV that show a very good agreement with experimental data. The lattice constant is obtained exactly as experiment. In thermos-electric materials, the concept of conversion-efficiency (heat to electricity) is improved instantly by suppressing the phonon quasi-particles propagations that are responsible for draft macroscopic thermal transport. The material presented here for thermo-electric conversion-efficiency of cubic perovskite LaAlO3, show that it has an ultralow thermal-conductivity, while the formalism to its strong phonon scattering interactions resides mostly unclear. From the bases of Ab-initio simulations, the 4-dimensional phonon-dispersion surfaces of the cubic perovskite LaAlO3, have been mapped and we found that the origins of the ionic potential an-harmonicity being responsible for the unique behaviour and properties of LaAlO3. It is investigated that these phonon scattering arise solely from the LaAlO3 unstable electronic-structure, with its orbital interactions resulting to lattice instability similar to the ferroelectric instabilities. Our results show a microscopic insight bonding electronic-structure and phonon an-harmonicity in LaAlO3, and provides some new picture the way interactions happen between phonon–electron and phonon–phonon this lead to understand the concept of ultralow thermal-conductivity. Ab-initio calculations was performed on cubic perovskite LaAlO3 to obtain the phonon density of states (DOS) from 50 K to 5000 K, we find that the anharmonic behaviour starts around temperature limits of 500 K. The computed optical spectra were obtained using both the Beth Slapter Equation BSE and compared with the perturbed method using HSE06, optical spectra show that the inter-band transition occur precisely from the O-valence bands to the La-conduction bands throughout the low energy area. The energy-loss spectrum, optical conductivity and reflectivity and the refractive index are computed from first principles by using HSE06 hybrid functional. The optical band gap of material shows about 6.21 eV, which agrees with some cited experimental measurements.

Abstract A detailed exploration of the f-atomic orbital occupancy space for UO2 is performed using a first principles approach based on density functional theory (DFT), employing a full hybrid functional within a systematic basis set. Specifically, the PBE0 functional is combined with an occupancy biasing scheme implemented in a wavelet-based algorithm which is adapted to large supercells. The results are compared with previous DFT+U calculations reported in the literature, while dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) is also performed to provide a further base for comparison. This work shows that the computational complexity of the energy landscape of a correlated f-electron oxide is much richer than has previously been demonstrated. The resulting calculations provide evidence of the existence of multiple previously unexplored metastable electronic states of UO2, including those with energies which are lower than previously reported ground states.
