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…

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…

Lattice thermal conductivity of half-Heuslers with density functional theory and machine learning: Enhancing predictivity by active sampling with principal component analysis

Rasmus Tranås, Ole Martin Løvvik, Oliver Tomic +1

Low lattice thermal conductivity is essential for high thermoelectric performance of a material. Lattice thermal conductivity is often computed using density functional theory (DFT…

Next-generation non-local van der Waals density functional

Debajit Chakraborty, Kristian Berland, T. Thonhauser

The fundamental ideas for a non-local density functional theory -- capable of reliably capturing van der Waals interaction -- were already conceived in the 1990's. In 2004, a semin…
