Implementation of the modified Becke-Johnson meta-GGA functional in Quantum Espresso
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an implementation of the modified Becke–Johnson meta-GGA functional (TB09) in the PWSCF program of Quantum ESPRESSO package via the Libxc library. Using the functionals of TB09 we calculated the band gaps of some semiconductors and compared the resultswith previous calculations and experiments. We showed that combining GGA pseudo-potential with TB09 functionals would improve greatly the band gaps compared with the GGA calculations. The details of our implementation and code samples are also given. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملAnalytical representation of the Becke-Roussel exchange functional.
The unique meta-GGA (generalized gradient approximation) exchange functional of Becke and Roussel (BR89) and the correlation functional of Becke related to it (B94) are represented for the first time in an analytical form. All functional derivatives are then obtained analytically, which allows an efficient self-consistent implementation. A brief assessment of this "BR89B94" meta-GGA scheme is m...

Abstract: In this work we investigate the electronic, optical, dynamic and thermoelectric properties of ternary copper-based Chalcogenides CuSbX2 (X= S, Se) compounds. Calculations are based on density functional theory and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Computations have been carried out by using Quantum-Espresso (PWSCF) package and ab-initio pseudo-potential technique. To estimate the e...

Dosulepin and doxepin are tricyclic antidepressants. The molecular geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, quantum chemical parameters and thermodynamic properties of dosulepin and doxepin were calculated by Generalized Gradient Approximation methods developed by Perdew and Wang (GGA-PW91) and Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (GGA-BLYP) in the gas phase and solution media. The local reactivity of thes...
