Van der Waals Density Functional for Molecular Crystals

Trevor Jenkins, Kristian Berland, Timo Thonhauser

Since the development of the nonlocal correlation functional vdW-DF, the family of van der Waals density functionals has grown to better describe a wide variety of systems. A recen…

Discovering Ferroelectric Plastic (Ionic) Crystals in the Cambridge Structural Database: Database Mining and Computational Assessment

Elin Dypvik Sødahl, Seyedmojtaba Seyedraoufi, Carl Henrik Görbitz +1

Hybrid or organic plastic crystals have the potential as lead-free alternatives to conventional inorganic ferroelectrics. These materials are gaining attention for their multiaxial…

Database mining and first-principles assessment of organic proton-transfer ferroelectrics

Seyedmojtaba Seyedraoufi, Elin Dypvik Sødahl, Carl Henrik Görbitz +1

In organic proton-transfer ferroelectrics (OPTFe), molecules are linked together in a hydrogen-bonded network and proton transfer (PT) between molecules is the dominant mechanism o…

Purcell-induced suppression of superradiance for molecular overlayers on noble atom surfaces

Johannes Fiedler, Kristian Berland, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann

We study the impact of an environment on the electromagnetic responses of a molecule in the presence of a dielectric medium. By applying the dipole-dipole coupling between the mole…

Improved proton-transfer barriers with van der Waals density functionals: Role of repulsive non-local correlation

S. Seyedraoufi, Kristian Berland

Proton-transfer (PT) between organic complexes is a common and important biochemical process. Unfortunately, PT energy barriers are difficult to accurately predict using density fu…

Discarded gems: Thermoelectric performance of materials with band gap emerging at the hybrid-functional level

Kristian Berland, Ole Martin Løvvik, Rasmus Tranås

A finite electronic band gap is a standard filter in high-throughput screening of materials using density functional theory (DFT). However, because of the systematic underestimatio…
