Survey of ab initio phonon thermal transport (2018, background): “Often, discrepancies are simply caused by the tendency of the LDA to overbind atoms [49], giving higher optic phonon frequencies thanmeasured values.”
Quest for a universal density functional: the accuracy of density functionals across a broad spectrum of databases in chemistry and physics (2012, result): “rom the band gaps database is explained by the fact that three solids with wurtzite structure (GaN, InN, ZnO) require the specification of two lattice constants. Reference data are equilibrium values [148,151, 152, 153, 154] obtained by removing the zero-point anharmonic expansion, so that we can di”
