How Semilocal Are Semilocal Density Functional Approximations? -Tackling Self-Interaction Error in One-Electron Systems
Akilan Ramasamy, Lin Hou, Jorge Vega Bazantes +4
Self-interaction error (SIE), arising from the imperfect cancellation of the spurious classical Coulomb interaction between an electron and itself, is a persistent challenge in mod…
Artificial Symmetry Breaking by Self-Interaction Error
Lin Hou, Cody Woods, Yanyong Wang +7
Symmetry is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics and materials theory, underpinning the classification of electronic states and the emergence of complex phenomena such as magnetism a…
Magnetism-Enhanced Strong Electron-Phonon Coupling in Infinite-Layer Nickelate
Ruiqi Zhang, Yanyong Wang, Manuel Engel +12
Intriguing analogies between the nickelates and the cuprates provide a promising avenue for unraveling the microscopic mechanisms underlying high- superconductivity. While ele…
Accurate Electron-phonon Interactions from Advanced Density Functional Theory
Yanyong Wang, Manuel Engel, Christopher Lane +9
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) is key for understanding many properties of materials such as superconductivity and electric resistivity. Although first principles density-functiona…
