Analysis of the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof density functional parameter space.

چکیده
The Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) density functionals are popular for their ability to improve upon the accuracy of standard semilocal functionals such as Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE), particularly for semiconductor band gaps. They also have a reduced computational cost compared to hybrid functionals, which results from the restriction of Fock exchange calculations to small inter-electron separations. These functionals are defined by an overall fraction of Fock exchange and a length scale for exchange screening. We systematically examine this two-parameter space to assess the performance of hybrid screened exchange (sX) functionals and to determine a balance between improving accuracy and reducing the screening length, which can further reduce computational costs. Three parameter choices emerge as useful: "sX-PBE" is an approximation to the sX-LDA screened exchange density functionals based on the local density approximation (LDA); "HSE12" minimizes the overall error over all tests performed; and "HSE12s" is a range-minimized functional that matches the overall accuracy of the existing HSE06 parameterization but reduces the Fock exchange length scale by half. Analysis of the error trends over parameter space produces useful guidance for future improvement of density functionals.

Density functional theory calculation was conducted to determine the optoelectronic properties of bismuth titanate sillenite (Bi12TiO20) and perovskite-like (Bi4Ti3O12) structures. The lattice parameters were experimentally obtained from Rietveld analysis. The density functional perturbation theory approach was used with the standard Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional and screened Coulomb hybrid...

The electronic structure of SrZn2Sb2 and YbZn2Sb2 is investigated using density functional theory and high-resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Both traditional Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof and state-of-theart hybrid Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof functionals have been employed to highlight the importance of proper treatment of exchange-dependent Zn 3d states, Yb 4f states, and band gaps. The role o...
متن کاملElectronic structure of copper phthalocyanine: a comparative density functional theory study.
We present a systematic density functional theory study of the electronic structure of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) using several different (semi)local and hybrid functionals and compare the results to experimental photoemission data. We show that semilocal functionals fail qualitatively for CuPc primarily because of underbinding of localized orbitals due to self-interaction errors. We discuss ...
متن کاملCalculation of semiconductor band gaps with the M06-L density functional.
The performance of the M06-L density functional has been tested for band gaps in seven semiconductors plus diamond and MgO. Comparison with the local spin density approximation (LSDA), Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (BLYP), Perdew-Burke-Eernzerhof (PBE), Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS), and Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) functionals shows that M06-L has improved performance for calculating band gaps ...

We investigate the zinc vacancy effects on the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Sc-doped ZnO, by performing first-principles calculations within both GGA + U and Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof hybrid functional methods. We find that Sc impurities stabilize considerably Zn vacancies. The electronic and magnetic analysis shows a half metallic ferromagnetic character with a total magnetic...
