Band gaps of crystalline solids from Wannier-localization-based optimal tuning of a screened range-separated hybrid functional

Accurate prediction of fundamental band gaps of crystalline solid-state systems entirely within density functional theory is a long-standing challenge. Here, we present a simple and inexpensive method that achieves this by means of nonempirical optimal tuning of the parameters of a screened range-se...
