Performance of Tao-Mo semilocal density functional in projector-augmented-wave method.
We assess the performance of Tao-Mo semilocal exchange correlation (TM) functional [J. Tao and Y. Mo, Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 073001 (2016)] using projector-augmented-wave method with the plane wave basis set in Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP). The meta-GGA level semilocal functional TM is an all purpose exchange-correlation functional which performs accurately for the wide range of molecular and solid state properties. The exchange functional part of TM is designed from the density matrix expansion (DME) technique together with the slowly varying fourth order gradient expansion. The correlation functional of the corresponding exchange is based on Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) functional. We assess the performance of TM for solid state lattice constants, bulk moduli, band gaps, cohesive energies and magnetic moments of solids. It has been established that in plane wave basis the TM functional performs accurately in predicting all the solid state properties in semilocal level.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
