Effectiveness of smearing and tetrahedron methods: best practices in DFT codes [PDF]
Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering,
29(6), 065014 (2021), 2021 Density functional theory (DFT) codes are commonly treated as a "black box" in high-throughput screening of materials, with users opting for the default values of the input parameters. Often, non-experts may not sufficiently consider the effect of these parameters on prediction quality.

Majorana bound states in the presence of the half-smeared potential [PDF]
Acta Phys. Pol. A 143, 164 (2023), 2022 The Majorana bound state can be realized in one dimensional chain, in form of two well localized and separated states at both ends of the chain. In this paper, we discuss the case when the potential is smeared at one end of the system. In our investigation, we assume the smearing in form of a quadratic function of position.
