Pressure-induced effects on physical and superconducting properties of ThIrGe: A DFT investigation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the spin dependence electronic, optical, mechanical, thermodynamic and superconducting properties of the newly synthesized TiNiSi-type ThIrGe, which was applied from 0 to 15 GPa.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.

Special points for brillouin-zone integrations

TL;DR: In this article, a method for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector is given, where the integration can be over the entire zone or over specified portions thereof.

Inhomogeneous Electron Gas

TL;DR: In this article, the ground state of an interacting electron gas in an external potential was investigated and it was proved that there exists a universal functional of the density, called F[n(mathrm{r})], independent of the potential of the electron gas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism.

TL;DR: Novel features are that the pseudopotential itself becomes charge-state dependent, the usual norm-conservation constraint does not apply, and a generalized eigenproblem is introduced.

First-principles simulation: ideas, illustrations and the CASTEP code

TL;DR: The basics of the suject are looked at, a brief review of the theory is given, examining the strengths and weaknesses of its implementation, and some of the ways simulators approach problems are illustrated through a small case study.
