Energetics of MnO[subscript 2] polymorphs in density functional theory

We report the energetics and properties of the β, α, R, γ, λ, and δ polymorphs of MnO[subscript 2] within density functional theory, comparing the performance of the recently introduced SCAN functional with that of conventional exchange-correlation functionals and experiment. We find that SCAN uniqu...
