Giant Gating Tunability of Optical Refractive Index in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers

Yiling Yu, Yifei Yu, Lujun Huang +3

We report that the refractive index of transition metal dichacolgenide (TMDC) monolayers, such as MoS2, WS2, and WSe2, can be substantially tuned by > 60% in the imaginary part and…

Rehabilitation of PBE-GGA for Layered Materials

Haowei Peng, John P. Perdew

The structural and energetic properties of layered materials propose a challenge to density functional theory with common semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation. By c…

Understanding Band Gaps of Solids in Generalized Kohn-Sham Theory

John P. Perdew, Weitao Yang, Kieron Burke +11

The fundamental energy gap of a periodic solid distinguishes insulators from metals and characterizes low-energy single-electron excitations. But the gap in the band-structure of t…

Near-locality of exchange and correlation density functionals for 1- and 2-electron systems

Jianwei Sun, John P. Perdew, Zenghui Yang +1

The uniform electron gas and the hydrogen atom play fundamental roles in condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry. The former has an infinite number of electrons uniformly di…

More-Realistic Band Gaps from Meta-Generalized Gradient Approximations: Only in a Generalized Kohn-Sham Scheme

Zeng-hui Yang, Haowei Peng, Jianwei Sun +1

Unlike the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), calculations with meta-generalized gradient approximations (meta-GGA) are usually don…

SCAN: An Efficient Density Functional Yielding Accurate Structures and Energies of Diversely-Bonded Materials

Jianwei Sun, Richard C. Remsing, Yubo Zhang +9

Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) is a widely-used electronic structure theory for materials as well as molecules. DFT is needed especially for large systems, ab initio mol…

SCAN+rVV10: A promising van der Waals density functional

Haowei Peng, Zeng-Hui Yang, Jianwei Sun +1

The newly developed "strongly constrained and appropriately normed" (SCAN) meta-generalized-gradient approximation (meta-GGA) can generally improve over the non-empirical Perdew-Bu…

Pathway to oxide photovoltaics via band-structure engineering of SnO

Haowei Peng, Andre Bikowski, Andriy Zakutayev +1

The prospects of scaling current photovoltaic technologies to terawatt levels remain uncertain. All-oxide photovoltaics could open rapidly scalable manufacturing routes, if only ox…
