VASP - suggestion on optimization of interfaced slabs
I am currently trying to create a CeO2 (100) / CoO (200) interface for a bulk oxide.
Unlike what I usually see, slabs stacked on the z-axis ("vertically"), I would like to stack the two &...

Hubbard U value on LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface [closed]
I want to do a GGA+U calculation on the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure to study the 2DEG formed at the interface. In all the references I came across they used U around 4eV-6eV on Ti 3d orbitals, I'm ...
