ABINIT Discussion Forums

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!

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
