Tin monoxide has garnered a great deal attention in the recent literature, primarily as a transparent p-type conductor. However, due to its layered structure (dictated by non-bonding dispersion forces) simulation via density functional theory often fails to accurately model the unit cell. This study applies a PBE0-vdW…
