用trans-Blaha修正的Becke-Johnson密度泛函方法计算电子结构

Electronic Structure Calculations with the Tran-Blaha Modified Becke-Johnson Density Functional

David J. Singh

摘要:

我们报告了一系列的计算测试的预测的trans-blaha功能的电子结构和磁性的凝聚系统。我们发现一个一般的改善半导体和绝缘系统的性能,相对于标准的广义梯度近似计算,虽然这并不总是由相同的机制,如准粒子GW方法的其他方法。在ZnO中,价带变窄,并且带隙增加到与实验更好地一致的值。Zn $d$态不像LDA + U计算中那样移动到更高的结合能。的功能是有效的系统与氢化物阴离子,其中纠正自相互作用的错误在1 $s$状态是重要的。类似地,它正确地打开了碱土金属六硼化物的半导体间隙,正确地稳定了未掺杂的铜酸盐母体CaCuO $_2$的反铁磁绝缘基态,但严重地降低了与铁磁Gd相对于标准局域自旋密度近似和广义梯度近似的实验的一致性。这是由于少数自旋$4f$态的能量太低。反之,La $_2$ O $_3$的LaPDMATHABMP导带位置与实验值和标准泛函值基本一致.该泛函使铁高温超导体的母体化合物LaFeAsO的Fe $d$带变窄,同时保持费米能附近的高Fe谱权重。

英文摘要:

We report a series of calculations testing the predictions of the Tran-Blaha functional for the electronic structure and magnetic properties of condensed systems. We find a general improvement in the properties of semiconducting and insulating systems, relative to calculations with standard generalized gradient approximations, although this is not always by the same mechanism as other approaches such as the quasiparticle GW method. In ZnO the valence bands are narrowed and the band gap is increased to a value in much better agreement with experiment. The Zn $d$ states do not move to higher binding energy as they do in LDA+U calculations. The functional is effective for systems with hydride anions, where correcting self-interaction errors in the 1$s$ state is important. Similarly, it correctly opens semiconducting gaps in the alkaline earth hexaborides.It correctly stabilizes an antiferromagnetic insulating ground state for the undoped cuprate parent CaCuO$_2$, but seriously degrades the agreement with experiment for ferromagnetic Gd relative to the standard local spin density approximation and generalized gradient approximations. This is due to positioning of the minority spin $4f$ states at too low an energy. Conversly, the position of the La $4f$ conduction bands of La$_2$O$_3$ is in reasonable accord with experiment as it is with standard functionals. The functional narrows the Fe $d$ bands of the parent compound LaFeAsO of the iron high temperature superconductors, while maintaining the high Fe spectral weight near the Fermi energy.
