List of hybrid functionals: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:52, 14 June 2024

A certain number of unscreened and screened hybrid functionals are available in VASP, and furthermore if VASP is compiled with the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc, then most of the existing hybrid functionals can be used^[1]. Examples of INCAR files are shown below. Since VASP.6.4.0 it is possible to use hybrid functionals that mix meta-GGA and Hartree-Fock exchange. Note that it is in general recommended to use the PBE POTCAR files for hybrid functionals.

Range-separated hybrid functionals

HSE06^[2]

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
HFSCREEN = 0.2

with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

HSE03^[3]^[4]^[5]

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
HFSCREEN = 0.3

with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

HSEsol^[6]

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PS
HFSCREEN = 0.2

with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

Dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) functional^[7]^[8]

LMODELHF = .TRUE.
AEXX =  $\varepsilon^{-1}$ 
HFSCREEN =  $\mu$ 
GGA = PE

where

\varepsilon^{-1}

is the inverse dielectric constant and

\mu

is the range-separation parameter. See a detailed description of the DDH functionals in the documentation for the LMODELHF tag.

RSHXLDA^[9]

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LRHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = CA (or PZ)
HFSCREEN = 0.75 # Optimal value for solids

with the default values AEXX=1, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

RSHXPBE^[10]

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LRHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
HFSCREEN = 0.91 # Optimal value for the enthalpies of formation of molecules

with the default values AEXX=1, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

Unscreened hybrid functionals

PBEh (PBE0)^[11]^[12]^[13]

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE

with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

B3LYP^[14] with VWN3 (or VWN5) for LDA correlation

LHFCALC = .TRUE. 
GGA     = B3 (or B5)
AEXX    = 0.2
AGGAX   = 0.72 
AGGAC   = 0.81 
ALDAC   = 0.19

with the default value ALDAX=1-AEXX=0.8.

B3PW91^[15] (using Libxc, see the tag LIBXC1)

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = LIBXC
LIBXC1 = HYB_GGA_XC_B3PW91 # or 401
AEXX = 0.2

B1-WC^[16] (using Libxc, see the tag LIBXC1)

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = LIBXC
LIBXC1 = HYB_GGA_XC_B1WC # or 412
AEXX = 0.16

SCAN0

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
METAGGA = SCAN

with the default values AEXX=0.25, AMGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, and AMGGAC=1.

Hartree-Fock (no correlation)

LHFCALC = .TRUE. 
AEXX    = 1

with the default values AGGAX=1-AEXX=0, ALDAC=0, and AGGAC=0.

Mind: Note the default values when LHFCALC=.TRUE.:

ALDAX, AGGAX and AMGGAX are set to 1-AEXX.
ALDAC, AGGAC and AMGGAC are set to 0 if AEXX=1 or to 1 if AEXX $\neq$ 1.
