In this work we investigate the electronic properties of mercaptocarboxylic acids with several carbon chain lengths adsorbed on ZnO-(10-10) surfaces via density functional theory calculations using semi-local and hybrid exchange-correlation functionals. Amongst the investigated structures, we identify the monodentate adsorption mode to be stable. Moreover, this mode introduces optically active states in the ZnO gap, is further confirmed by the calculation of the dielectric function at PBE0 and TD-PBE0 levels. One interesting finding is that adsorption mode and the dielectric properties of the hybrid system are both rather insensitive to the chain length, since the acceptor molecular state is very localized on the sulphur atom. This indicates that even small molecules can be used to stabilize ZnO surface and to enhance its functionality for opto-electronic applications.

An extensive theoretical investigation of the nonpolar (10$bar{1}$0) and (11$bar{2}$0) surfaces as well as the polar zinc terminated (0001)--Zn and oxygen terminated (000$bar{1}$)--O surfaces of ZnO is presented. Particular attention is given to the
convergence properties of various parameters such as basis set, k--point mesh, slab thickness, or relaxation constraints within LDA and PBE pseudopotential calculations using both plane wave and mixed basis sets. The pros and cons of different approaches to deal with the stability problem of the polar surfaces are discussed. Reliable results for the structural relaxations and the energetics of these surfaces are presented and compared to previous theoretical and experimental data, which are also concisely reviewed and commented.
We discuss the structural and electronic properties of tetragonal CuO grown on SrTiO3(100) by means of hybrid density functional theory. Our analysis explains the anomalously large Cu-O vertical distance observed in the experiments (~2.7 A) in terms
of a peculiar frustration between two competing local Cu-O environments characterized by different in-plane and out-of-plane bond lengths and Cu electronic populations. The proper inclusion of substrate effects is crucial to understand the tetragonal expansion and to reproduce correctly the measured valence band spectrum for a CuO thickness of 3-3.5 unit cells, in agreement with the experimentally estimated thickness.
We perform first principles simulations for the structural, elastic and electronic properties of orthorhombic samarium orthoferrite $SmFeO_3$ within the framework of density functional theory. A number of different density functionals, such as local
density approximation, generalized gradient approximation, Hubbard interaction modified functional, modified Becke$-$Johnson approximation and Heyd$-$Scuseria$-$Ernzerhof hybrid functional have been used to model the exact electron exchange-correlation. We estimate the energy of the ground state for different magnetic configurations of $SmFeO_3$. The crystal structure of $SmFeO_3$ is characterized in terms of the lattice parameters, atomic positions, relevant ionic radii, bond lengths and bond angles. The stability of the $SmFeO_3$ orthorhombic structure is simulated in terms of its elastic properties. For the electronic structure simulations, we provide estimates based on density functionals with varying degrees of computational complexities in the Jacobs ladder.
The strain effect on electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of Higher Manganese Silicides (HMSs) Mn4Si7 was studied using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and through solving Boltzman Transport Equation (BTE). We found that the tensile str
ain attempts to reduce the band gap while the compressive strain not much affect to band gap. The Seebeck coeficient was found to be increased with increasing temperature, which is very consistent to experiments. The electrical conductivity and power factor show highly degree of anisotropy, where in-plane direction is more dominant. The different behavior of electrical conductivity along in-plane and outof plane direction was explained due to the change of band dispersion in the valence band maximum (VBM).
Theoretical material investigation based on density functional theory (DFT) has been a breakthrough in the last century. Nevertheless, the optical properties calculated by DFT generally show poor agreement with experimental results particularly when
the absorption-coefficient ({alpha}) spectra in logarithmic scale are compared. In this study, we have established an alternative DFT approach (PHS method) that calculates highly accurate {alpha} spectra, which show remarkable agreement with experimental spectra even in logarithmic scale. In the developed method, the optical function estimated from generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using very high-density k mesh is blue-shifted by incorporating the energy-scale correction by a hybrid functional and the amplitude correction by sum rule. Our simple approach enables high-precision prediction of the experimental {alpha} spectra of all solar-cell materials (GaAs, InP, CdTe, CuInSe2 and Cu2ZnGeSe4) investigated here. The developed method is superior to conventional GGA, hybrid functional and GW methods and has clear advantages in accuracy and computational cost.
