Fermi energy determination for advanced smearing techniques

Flaviano Jose dos Santos et al.

Summary: Smearing techniques are used to improve the accuracy of Brillouin-zone sampling and reduce level-crossing instabilities in first-principles calculations of metallic and magnetic materials. Advanced smearing techniques, like Methfessel-Paxton and cold smearing, ensure that the total free energy of the system remains independent of the smearing temperature. However, nonmonotonic occupation functions and the lack of unique definition for the chemical potential can be drawbacks. To address this, a numerical protocol using Newton's minimization method is introduced to identify the desired Fermi energy.

Numerical quality control for DFT-based materials databases

Christian Carbogno et al.

Summary: Electronic-structure theory is a crucial aspect of materials science, with various computer codes utilized to solve scientific problems. However, the precision and uncertainties of these codes under commonly used numerical settings have not been extensively studied. This research investigates the deviations in energy calculations for different computational parameters and proposes an analytical model to estimate the errors caused by incomplete basis sets.

DFT-Guided Crystal Structure Redetermination and Lattice Dynamics of the Intermetallic Actinoid Compound UIr

Malte Sachs et al.

Summary: UIr, previously considered as a noncentrosymmetric material, is discovered to have a centrosymmetric crystal structure. The observation of twinning suggests a high-temperature displacive phase transition in UIr. The study impacts the understanding of the structure models and superconducting mechanisms of UIr.

Workflows in AiiDA: Engineering a high-throughput, event-based engine for robust and modular computational workflows

Martin Uhrin et al.

Summary: In the past twenty years, computational science has shifted towards high-throughput computation and big-data analysis as crucial elements of scientific discovery. AiiDA serves as a versatile tool for high-throughput computational science, focusing on data reproducibility, scalability, and robustness. With important API design choices, workflow writers have the flexibility to create robust and modular workflows, sharing their scientific knowledge with the wider scientific community.

Electronic-structure methods for materials design

Nicola Marzari et al.

Summary: Simulations, using electronic-structure methods such as density functional theory, have driven a new paradigm in research by accelerating the identification, characterization, and optimization of materials. The accuracy and efficiency of these methods rely on the predictive accuracy of underlying physical descriptions and the ability to capture system complexity. Continuous progress in theory, algorithms, and hardware, along with the adaptation of tools from computer science, play a key role in advancing materials science.

Common workflows for computing material properties using different quantum engines

Sebastiaan P. Huber et al.

Summary: The prediction of material properties based on density-functional theory is increasingly common thanks to the availability of simulation packages, but the diversity of methods and algorithms can make it challenging to choose and use them efficiently. Developing common interfaces for automated material property calculation simplifies interoperability and cross-verification, enabling non-experts to benefit from the expertise of quantum engine implementers.

A framework for quantifying uncertainty in DFT energy corrections

Amanda Wang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a method to quantify uncertainty in DFT energy corrections, showing how it can improve accuracy in computational phase stability predictions. Results suggest that unstable polymorphs in many chemical systems may actually be predicted stable when uncertainty is taken into account. This highlights the importance of considering uncertainty in assessing compound stability.
