The optical spectra of CeO2 have been systematically investigated using three first-principles computational approaches for comparison, namely, the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) screened hybrid functional, HSE+\emph{U}, and \emph{GW}+\emph{U}. Our results show that by using the HSE+\emph{U} method, the calculated electronic structures are in good agreement with experimental spectra and the resulting imaginary part of the optical dielectric function spectrum well reproduces the main features exhibited in experimental observations. The important adsorption spectrum and energy loss function also accord well with the experimental results.

Combining Density Functional Theory and Green's Function Theory: Range-Separated, Non-local, Dynamic, and Orbital-Dependent Hybrid Functional
We present a rigorous framework that combines single-particle Green's function theory with density functional theory based on a separation of electron-electron interactions into short-range and long-range components. Short-range contributions to the total energy and exchange-correlation potential are provided by a density functional approximation, while the long-range contribution is calculated using an explicit many-body Green's function method. Such a hybrid results in a nonlocal, dynamic, and orbital-dependent exchange-correlation functional of a single-particle Green's function. In particu…
