Abstract This paper presents the results of the self-consistent calculations on the electronic structure of anatase phase of TiO$_2$. The calculations were performed using the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW) in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The fully optimized structure, obtained by minimizing the total energy and atomic forces, is in good agreement with experiment. We also calculated the band structure and the density of states. In particular, the calculated band structure prefers an indirect transition between valence and conduction bands of anatase TiO$_2$, which may be helpful for clarifying the ambiguity in other theoretical works.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
