正交晶系SrRuO $_3$的晶体结构:DFT泛函的基准研究

On the crystalline structure of orthorhombic SrRuO$_3$: A benchmark study of DFT functionals

Š. Masys, V. Jonauskas

摘要:

通过研究基态正交SrRuO $_3$的晶体结构,我们提出了一个基准研究的一些最流行的密度泛函理论(DFT)的方法从局域密度近似(LDA),广义梯度近似(GGA),和混合功能的家庭。最近在室温下稳定SrRuO $_3$的四方相和单斜相的实验成功揭示了通过应用第一性原理计算精确描述这种材料的几何形状的能力。因此,我们的工作旨在分析不同的DFT泛函的性能,并提供一些建议,为未来的研究SrRuO $_3$。将所得结果与低温实验数据进行比较表明,修正的固体GGA具有较好的精度和较低的计算成本,是计算晶格常数和体积的最佳选择。然而,当倾斜和旋转角度出现在场景中时,修改的GGA与混合方案的组合成为最优选的选择。值得注意的是,LDA泛函的较差性能在某种程度上被其对SrRuO $_3$的电子和磁性结构的真实再现所补偿,如果还考虑物理特征,则使其成为强有力的竞争者。

英文摘要:

By investigating the crystalline structure of ground-state orthorhombic SrRuO$_3$, we present a benchmark study of some of the most popular density functional theory (DFT) approaches from the local density approximation (LDA), generalized-gradient approximation (GGA), and hybrid functional families. Recent experimental success in stabilizing tetragonal and monoclinic phases of SrRuO$_3$ at room temperature sheds a new light on the ability to accurately describe geometry of this material by applying first-principles calculations. Therefore, our work is aimed to analyse the performance of different DFT functionals and provide some recommendations for future research of SrRuO$_3$. A comparison of the obtained results to the low-temperature experimental data indicates that revised GGAs for solids are the best choice for the lattice constants and volume due to their nice accuracy and low computational cost. However, when tilting and rotation angles appear on the scene, a combination of the revised GGAs with the hybrid scheme becomes the most preferable option. It is important to note that a worse performance of LDA functional is somewhat compensated by its realistic reproduction of electronic and magnetic structure of SrRuO$_3$, making it a strong competitor if the physical features are also taken into account.
