False-positive and False-negative assignments of Topological Insulators in Density-Functional Theory and Hybrids

Julien Vidal, Xiuwen Zhang, Liping Yu +2

Density-functional Theory (DFT) approaches have recently been used to judge the topological order of various materials despite its well-known band gap underestimation. Use of the m…
