Calculations of Al dopant in α-quartz using a variational implementation of the Perdew–Zunger self-interaction correction

The energetics and atomic structure associated with the localized hole formed near an Al-atom dopant in α -quartz are calculated using a variational, self-consistent implementation of the Perdew–Zunger self-interaction correction with complex optimal orbitals. This system has become an important tes...
