Abstract

We present a detailed study of the derivation of the Hubbard model parameters for κ-(ET)₂Cu₂(CN)₃ in the framework of ab initio Density Functional Theory. We show that calculations with different (i) wavefunction basis, (ii) exchange correlation functionals and (iii) tight-binding models provide a reliable benchmark for the parameter values. We compare our results with available extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations and discuss its implications for the description of the properties of κ-(ET)₂Cu₂(CN)₃. The electronic properties of κ-(ET)₂Cu(SCN)₂ are also briefly discussed.
