The results of ab-initio calculations of electronic structure of Laves-phase compounds Al2Ca, Be2Ag and Be2Ti are presented. Calculations were carried out in the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Waves + local orbital formalism (FP APW+lo). Total, local and partial densities of electronic states (DOS) were obtained and analysed. These...

Theoretical study of the electronic structure, and nonlinear optical properties (NLO) analysis of 12-crown-4were done using Density Functional Theory (DFT) evaluations at the B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level of theory. The optimized structure is nonlinear compound as indicated from the dihedral angles were presented. The calculated EHOMO and ELUMO energies of 12-Crown-4 (12CN4) ca...

We present a module that enables computation of polarization using density functional theory based on the full potential linearized augmented plane wave package WIEN2k. The theoretical background of deriving microscopic polarization of materials using the modern theory of polarization (geometric Berry phase approach) is reviewed. The software is validated and then applied to determine spontaneo...

Current-spin-density-functional theory CSDFT provides a framework to describe interacting many-electron systems in a magnetic field which couples to both spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Unlike in the usual spindensity-functional theory, approximations to the exchange-correlation energy based on the model of the uniform electron gas face problems in practical applications. In this work, exp...

A dynamic kinetic energy potential (DKEP) is developed for time-dependent orbital-free (TDOF) density function theory applications. This potential is constructed to affect only the dynamical (ω ≠ 0) response of an orbital-free electronic system. It aims at making the orbital-free simulation respond in the same way as that of a noninteracting homogenous electron gas (HEG), as required by a corre...

Nonadiabatic effects play an important role in many chemical processes. In order to study the underlying nonadiabatic potential-energy surfaces PESs , we present a locally constrained density-functional theory approach, which enables us to confine electrons to subspaces of the Hilbert space, e.g., to selected atoms or groups of atoms. This allows one to calculate nonadiabatic PESs for defined c...
