Abstract

d-metal oxides play a crucial role in numerous technological applications and show a great variety of magnetic properties. We have systematically investigated the structural properties, magnetic ground states, and fundamental electronic properties of 100 binary d-metal oxides using hybrid density functional methods and localized basis sets composed of Gaussian-type functions. The calculated properties are compared with experimental information in all cases where experimental data are available. The used PBE0 hybrid density functional method describes the structural properties of the studied d-metal oxides well, except in the case of molecular oxides with weak intermolecular forces between the molecular units. Empirical D3 dispersion correction does not improve the structural description of the molecular oxides. We provide a database of optimized geometries and magnetic ground states to facilitate future studies on the more complex properties of the binary d-metal oxides.
