"Role of screened exact exchange in accurately describing properties of transition metal oxides: Modeling defects in LaAlO3." <i>Physical Review B,</i> 88, no. 21 (2013) American Physical Society: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.88.214102.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/96589The properties of many intrinsic defects in the wide-band-gap semiconductor LaAlO3 are studied using the screened hybrid functional of Heyd, Scuseria, and Ernzerhof (HSE) [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 8207 (2003)]. As in pristine structures, exact exchange included in the screened hybrid functional alleviates the band-gap underestimation problem, which is common to semilocal functionals; this allows accurate prediction of defect properties. We propose correction-free defect energy levels for bulk LaAlO3 computed using HSE that might serve as a guide in the interpretation of photoluminescence experiments.engArticle is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
