This paper assesses the performance of plane-wave density functional theory calculations at returning reliable structural information for molecular crystal structures where the primary intermolecular interactions are either hydrogen bonding or dispersion interactions. The computed structures are compared with input structures obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database, and assessed in terms of crystal packing similarities, unit-cell volume and shape, short contact distances and hydrogen-bond distances. The results demonstrate that the PBE functional [Perdew, Burke & Ernzerhof (1996).Phys. Rev. Lett.77, 3865–3868] with Tkatchenko and Scheffler's `TS' dispersion correction [Tkatchenko & Scheffler (2009).Phys. Rev. Lett.102, 073005] is capable of returning reliable full structural optimizations, in which both atomic positions and unit-cell vectors are free to optimize simultaneously.

The enthalpy of four polymorphs of CaN has been scrutinized at 0 and 100 GPa using density functional theory calculations. It is shown that structures of diamagnetic calcium diazenide (Ca2N2) are preferred over the cubic ferromagnetic polymorph (CaN) postulated before, both at 0 and 100 GPa.

AbstractWe present a tensor-structured algorithm for efficient large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations by constructing a Tucker tensor basis that is adapted to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and localized in real-space. The proposed approach uses an additive separable approximation to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and an L1 localization technique to generate the 1-D localized functions that constitute the Tucker tensor basis. Numerical results show that the resulting Tucker tensor basis exhibits exponential convergence in the ground-state energy with increasing Tucker rank. Further, the proposed tensor-structured algorithm demonstrated sub-quadratic scaling with system-size for both systems with and without a gap, and involving many thousands of atoms. This reduced-order scaling has also resulted in the proposed approach outperforming plane-wave DFT implementation for systems beyond 2000 electrons.
