We formulate the on-site occupation dependent exchange correlation energy and effective potential of hybrid functionals for localized states and connect them to the on-site correction term of the DFT+U method. Our derivation provides a theoretical justification for adding a DFT+U-like onsite potential in hybrid DFT calculations to resolve issues caused by overscreening of localized states. The resulting scheme, hybrid- DFT+Vw, is tested for chromium impurity in wurtzite AlN and vanadium impurity in 4H-SiC, which are paradigm examples of systems with different degree of localization between host and impurity orbitals.

The sensitivity of Density Functional Theory plus Dynamical Mean Field Theory calculations to different constructions of the correlated orbitals is investigated via a detailed comparison of results obtained for the quantum material NdNiO$_2$ using di
fferent Wannier and projector methods to define the correlation problem. Using the same interaction parameters we find that the different methods produce different results for the orbital and band basis mass enhancements and for the orbital occupancies, with differing implications regarding the importance of multiorbital effects and charge transfer physics. Using interaction parameters derived from cRPA enhances the difference in results. For the isostructural cuprate CaCuO$_2$, the different methods give quantitatively different mass enhancements but still result in the same qualitative physics.
Clarifying the origin of nematic state in FeSe is one of urgent problems in the field of iron-based superconductivity. Motivated by the discovery of a nematic solution in the density-functional theory implemented by on-site Coulomb interaction (DFT+$
U$) [X. Long {it et al.,} npj Quantum Mater. {bf 5}, 50 (2020)], we reexamine the $U$ dependence of electronic states in the nonmagnetic normal state of FeSe and perform full multipolar analyses for the nematic state. We find that with increasing $U$ the normal state experiences a topological change of the Fermi surfaces before the emergence of a nematic ground state. The resulting nematic ground state is a multipolar state having both antiferro-hexadecapoles in the $E$-representation and ferro-multipoles in the $B_2$-representation on each Fe site. Cooperative coupling between the $E$ and $B_2$ multipoles in local coordinate with the $D_{2d}$ point group will play an important role in the formation of the $d_{xz},d_{yz}$ orbital-splitting nematic state not only in FeSe but also in other iron pnictides.
We present an approach to the DFT+U method (Density Functional Theory + Hubbard model) within which the computational effort for calculation of ground state energies and forces scales linearly with system size. We employ a formulation of the Hubbard
model using nonorthogonal projector functions to define the localized subspaces, and apply it to a local-orbital DFT method including in situ orbital optimization. The resulting approach thus combines linear-scaling and systematic variational convergence. We demonstrate the scaling of the method by applying it to nickel oxide nano-clusters with sizes exceeding 7,000 atoms.
The most general way to describe localized atomic-like electronic states in strongly correlated compounds is to utilize Wannier functions. In the present paper we continue the development of widely-spread DFT+U method onto Wannier function basis set
and propose the technique to calculate the Hubbard contribution to the forces. The technique was implemented as a part of plane-waves pseudopotential code Quantum-ESPRESSO and successfully tested on a charge transfer insulator NiO.
For more than three decades, nearly free electron elemental metals have been a topic of debate because the computed bandwidths are significantly wider in the local density approximation to density-functional theory (DFT) than indicated by angle-resol
ved photoemission experiments. Here, we systematically investigate this using first-principles calculations for alkali and alkaline-earth metals using DFT and various beyond-DFT methods such as meta-GGA, G$_0$W$_0$, B3LYP, and DFT+eDMFT. We find that the static non-local exchange and correlation, as partly included in the B3LYP hybrid functional, significantly increase the bandwidths even compared to LDA, while the G$_0$W$_0$ bands are only slightly narrower than in LDA. The agreement with the ARPES is best when the local approximation to the self-energy is used in the DFT+eDMFT method. We infer that even moderately correlated systems with partially occupied s-orbitals, which were assumed to approximate the uniform electron gas, are very well described in terms of short-range dynamical correlations that are only local to an atom.
