Choosing and Validating Density Functionals for Quantum Materials: Strong Correlation, Spin–Orbit Coupling, Topology, and Two-Dimensional Magnetism

Sudipta Dash & Srinibas Panda · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2026

Density functional theory (DFT) has become the principal computational instrument for predicting and interpreting the electronic, magnetic and topological properties of quantum materials, yet the reliability of any such prediction rests entirely on the exchange–correlation (XC) a...
