Description
This repository contains the computational data supporting the manuscript titled “The critical role of intrinsic defects and many-body interactions on the stability of MnBi₂Te₄.”
It includes:
1. DFT data generated using VASP, used for training and benchmarking electronic structure models.
2. Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) data produced with QMCPACK, used to apply many-body corrections and validate the electronic and magnetic properties of MnBi₂Te₄.
3. Relevant scripts used to run, analyze, and process the calculations, enabling reproducibility and transparency of the workflows.
