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.

Efficient iterative schemes for ab initio total-energy calculations using a plane-wave basis set.
Georg Kresse,Jürgen Furthmüller +1 more
TL;DR: An efficient scheme for calculating the Kohn-Sham ground state of metallic systems using pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set is presented and the application of Pulay's DIIS method to the iterative diagonalization of large matrices will be discussed.

Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode
Akira Fujishima,Kenichi Honda +1 more
TL;DR: Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.

Hybrid functionals based on a screened Coulomb potential
TL;DR: In this paper, a new hybrid density functional based on a screened Coulomb potential for the exchange interaction is proposed, which enables fast and accurate hybrid calculations, even of usually difficult metallic systems.

Assessment of the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof exchange-correlation functional
TL;DR: In this paper, the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional was compared with empirical functionals for the atomization energies of the G2 set, and the PBE functional showed systematic errors larger than those of commonly used empirical functions.
