Self-consistent on-site and inter-site Hubbard parameters within DFT+U+V for UO$_2$ using density-functional perturbation theory (2306.06266v1)

Published 9 Jun 2023 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci

Abstract: To apply the Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory for predicting some known materials' properties, the Hubbard parameters are usually so tuned that the calculations give results in agreement with some experimental data and then one uses the tuned model to predict unknown properties. However, in designing new unknown novel materials there is no data to fit the parameters and therefore self-consistent determination of these parameters is crucial. In this work, using the new method formulated by others, which is based on density-functional perturbation theory, we have calculated self-consistently the Hubbard parameters for UO$_2$ crystal within different popular exchange-correlation approximations. The calculated ground-state lattice constants and electronic band-gaps are compared with experiment and shown that PBE-sol lead to results in best agreement with experiment.
