Density functional electronic spectrum of the CuO6-10 cluster and possible local Jahn-Teller distortions in the La-Ba-Cu-O superconductor

We present a density functional theory (DFT) calculation in the generalized gradient approximation to study the possibility for the existence of Jahn-Teller (JT) or pseudo Jahn-Teller (PJT) type local distortions in the La-Ba-Cu-O superconducting system. We performed the calculation and correspondin...
