Predicting Band Gaps with Hybrid Density Functionals

Journal Article Garza, Alejandro J. ; Scuseria, Gustavo E. - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

We look at the ability of four popular hybrid density functionals (B3LYP, B3PW91, HSE, and PBE0) for predicting band gaps of semiconductors and insulators over a large benchmark set using a consistent methodology. We observe no significant statistical difference in their overall performance, although the screened hybrid HSE is more accurate for typical semiconductors. HSE can improve its accuracy for large band gap materials—without affecting that of semiconductors—by including a larger portion of Hartree–Fock exchange in its short-range. Given that screened hybrids are computationally much less expensive than their global counterparts, we conclude that they are a better option formore » the black box prediction of band gaps.« less

Time‐Dependent Density Functional Theory of Narrow Band Gap Semiconductors Using a Screened Range‐Separated Hybrid Functional

Journal Article Wing, Dahvyd ; Neaton, Jeffrey B. ; Kronik, Leeor - Advanced Theory and Simulations

Abstract Predicting the band structure and optical absorption spectra of narrow band gap semiconductors is challenging for electronic structure methods. Here, it is shown shown that density functional theory can yield accurate band structures and time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) can yield accurate optical absorption spectra for these systems. This is achieved by using a screened range‐separated hybrid (SRSH) functional with a single empirical parameter, fit to reproduce the experimental band gap. By comparing TDDFT results based on the SRSH approach with those obtained based on the Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof functional it is shown that screened long‐range exact exchange improves the accuracymore »« less

Predicting band gaps and band-edge positions of oxide perovskites using density functional theory and machine learning

Journal Article Li, Wei ; Wang, Zigeng ; Xiao, Xia ; ... - Physical Review. B

Density functional theory (DFT) within the local or semilocal density approximations, i.e., the local density approximation (LDA) or generalized gradient approximation (GGA), has become a workhorse in the electronic structure theory of solids, being extremely fast and reliable for energetics and structural properties, yet remaining highly inaccurate for predicting band gaps of semiconductors and insulators. The accurate prediction of band gaps using first-principles methods is time consuming, requiring hybrid functionals, quasiparticle GW, or quantum Monte Carlo methods. Efficiently correcting DFT-LDA/GGA band gaps and unveiling the main chemical and structural factors involved in this correction is desirable for discovering novel materialsmore »« less

Using Wannier functions to improve solid band gap predictions in density functional theory

Journal Article Ma, Jie ; Wang, Lin-Wang - Scientific Reports

Enforcing a straight-line condition of the total energy upon removal/addition of fractional electrons on eigen states has been successfully applied to atoms and molecules for calculating ionization potentials and electron affinities, but fails for solids due to the extended nature of the eigen orbitals. Here we have extended the straight-line condition to the removal/addition of fractional electrons on Wannier functions constructed within the occupied/unoccupied subspaces. It removes the self-interaction energies of those Wannier functions, and yields accurate band gaps for solids compared to experiments. It does not have any adjustable parameters and the computational cost is at the DFT level.more »« less
