TLDR
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.
Abstract
A method is given for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector. The integration can be over the entire Brillouin zone or over specified portions thereof. This method also has applications in spectral and density-of-state calculations. The relationships to the Chadi-Cohen and Gilat-Raubenheimer methods are indicated.

Scale-free ferroelectricity induced by flat phonon bands in HfO2.

TL;DR: It is determined that flat bands exist and induce robust yet independently switchable dipoles that exhibit a distinct ferroelectricity in hafnium dioxide (HfO2), and offers unexpected opportunities for ultimately dense unit cell–by–unit cell ferro electric switching devices that are directly integrable into silicon technology.

Density functional theory studies of screw dislocation core structures in bcc metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the core structures of d111 ¢screw dislocations in bcc metals were studied using density functional theory in the local density approximation, and direct calculations of the core structure showed the cores to be symmetric with respect to 180° rotations around an axis perpendicular to the dislocation line.

Vibrational recognition of hydrogen-bonded water networks on a metal surface

TL;DR: The adsorption of water on Pt(111) surface has been studied with ab initio molecular dynamics simulation and the existence of a well-ordered molecular bilayer on this surface is indicated.
