We present an orbital-resolved extension of the Hubbard correction to density-functional theory (DFT). Compared to the conventional shell-averaged approach, the prediction of energetic, electronic and structural properties is strongly improved, particularly for compounds characterized by both localized and hybridized states in the Hubbard manifold. The numerical values of all Hubbard parameters are readily obtained from linear-response calculations. The relevance of this more refined approach is showcased by its application to bulk solids pyrite (FeS) and pyrolusite (β-MnO), as well as to six Fe(II) molecular complexes. Our findings indicate that a careful definition of Hubbard manifolds is indispensable for extending the applicability of DFT+ beyond its current boundaries. The present orbital-resolved scheme aims to provide a computationally undemanding yet accurate tool for electronic structure calculations of charge-transfer insulators, transition-metal (TM) complexes and other compounds displaying significant orbital hybridization.

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we systematically studied the electronic band structure of MnGe in the vicinity of the Fermi level. We observe several bands crossing the Fermi level, confirming the metallic nature of the studied system. We further observe several flat bands along various high symmetry directions, consistent with the DFT calculations.

As an extension of single-atom catalysts, the development of double-atom catalysts with high electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is vital to facilitate hydrogen production and industrial applications. The CoM (M = 3d, 4d, 5d block metals) homo and double-atom catalysts supported on nitrogen-doped graphene (CoM/NG) were prepared for electrochemical water oxidation under alkaline conditions, and the electrocatalytic activity was studied through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The hetero CoCu/NG double-atom catalyst indicated the highest OER activity with an onset potential of 0.

Probe molecule vibrational spectra have a long history of being used to characterize materials including metals, oxides, metal-organic frameworks, and even human proteins. Furthermore, recent advances in machine learning have enabled computationally generated spectra to aid in detailed characterization of complex surfaces with probe molecules. Despite widespread use of probe molecules, the science of probe molecule selection is underdeveloped.

In this work, we explore the applicability and limitations of the current third order density functional tight binding (DFTB3) formalism for treating transition metal ions using nickel as an example. To be consistent with recent parameterization of DFTB3 for copper, the parametrization for nickel is conducted in a spin-polarized formulation and with orbital-resolved Hubbard parameters and their charge derivatives. The performance of the current parameter set is evaluated based on structural and energetic properties of a set of nickel-containing compounds that involve biologically relevant ligands.
