Ab-initio investigation of electronic structures of α-BiFeO3 with different exchange-correlation functionals

The electronic structures of α-BiFeO3 are calculated by using a full-potential linearized-augmented-plane-wave method. We employed the local-density approximation (LDA) with the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) exchange potential and the LDA + U method. The indirect (direct) bandgap of 2.24 (2.44) eV ob...
