LIBXC1 Pn: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:15, 7 January 2022

Description: LIBXC1_Pn and LIBXC2_Pn, where $n=1, 2, ...$ allow to specify the values of the parameters of functionals implemented in Libxc that are called with LIBXC1 and LIBXC2, respectively.

For many functionals implemented in the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc ^[1]^[2] it is possible to modify the values of parameters if one does not want to use the default values. If a functional from Libxc has parameters that can be modified, then they are listed in OUTCAR below "Parameters of Libxc functionals:" as P $n$ ( $n=1, 2, ...$ ).

An example is given below for the GGA PBE functional ^[3] where the parameters $\mu$ in exchange and $\beta$ in correlation are modified in order to get the PBEsol functional ^[4].

PBE turned into PBEsol

GGA = LIBXC
LIBXC1 = 101
LIBXC2 = 130
LIBXC1_P2 = 0.12345679
LIBXC2_P1 = 0.046
