Theoretical material investigation based on density functional theory (DFT) has been a breakthrough in the last century. Nevertheless, the optical properties calculated by DFT generally show poor agreement with experimental results particularly when the absorption-coefficient ({\alpha}) spectra in logarithmic scale are compared. In this study, we have established an alternative DFT approach (PHS method) that calculates highly accurate {\alpha} spectra, which show remarkable agreement with…
