Table 1 Data extracted for the \(P\bar{3}c1\) in the experimental geometry1, and from molecular dynamics simulations in the the 96 atom cell at 120 K and 300 K

From: TiSe2 is a band insulator created by lattice fluctuations, not an excitonic insulator

  1. Columns correspond to mean nearest-neighbour Ti-Se bond length \(\overline{d}\) and fluctuations about the mean (Å); mean Se-Ti-Se bond angle \(\overline{\theta }\) (degrees) and fluctuations about the mean, and the mean QSGW bandgap \({\overline{E}}_{G}\) (eV) and root-mean-squared fluctuations about the mean ΔEG.
