Hybrid functionals

Post by dkecik » Wed Oct 13, 2010 1:31 pm

Dear all,

I was wondering if hybrid functionals are at all or to what extent implemented in the ABINIT code? Is it possible to perform Hartree-fock type calculations for optical properties of solids? (My particular interest is bandstructure, dielectric function etc. calculations for metals.) I found some hints of the PBE0 potential in one of the papers but some deeper information would be nice.

Thank you in advance!
Deniz

Hello Deniz,

If you are referring to a François Jollet 2009 PRB paper, look at test v5t18 structure for clues ... he added it by himself.

Kind regards,

Alain
