Possible options for the {{TAG|GGA}} tag are:
A few points should be noted:
*The LIBXC option (or just LI) allows to use a LDA or GGA functional from the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc{{cite|marques:cpc:2012}}{{cite|lehtola:sx:2018}}{{cite|libxc}}. Along with {{TAG|GGA}}=LIBXC, it is also necessary to specify the {{TAG|LIBXC1}} and {{TAG|LIBXC2}} tags that specify the particular functional. Note that it is necessary to have [[Makefile.include#Libxc_.28optional.29|Libxc >= 5.2.0 installed]] and VASP.6.3.0 or higher compiled with [[Precompiler_options#-DUSELIBXC|precompiler options]].
*When the OR, BO, MK, ML or CX GGA is used in combination with the nonlocal vdW-DF functional of Dion ''et al.''{{cite|dion:prl:2004}}, the GGA component of the correlation should in principle be turned off with {{TAG|AGGAC}}=0 (see {{TAG|nonlocal vdW-DF functionals}}).
<!--
*The options in the last table allow to select range-separated ACFDT calculations, where a short-range local (DFT-like) exchange and correlation kernel is added to the long-range exchange and RPA correlation energy.

The LIBXC tag (or just LI) allows to use a LDA or GGA functional from the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc{{cite|marques:cpc:2012}}{{cite|lehtola:sx:2018}}{{cite|libxc}}. Along with {{TAG|GGA}}=LIBXC, it is also necessary to specify the {{TAG|LIBXC1}} and {{TAG|LIBXC2}} tags that specify the particular functional. Note that it is necessary to have [[Makefile.include#Libxc_.28optional.29|Libxc >= 5.2.0 installed]] and VASP.6.3.0 or higher compiled with [[Precompiler_options#-DUSELIBXC|precompiler options]].

{{TAG|LIBXC1}},
The AM05 functional and the PBEsol functional are constructed using different principles, but both aim at a decent description of yellium surface energies. In practice, they yield quite similar results for most materials. Both are available for spin-polarized calculations.
{{TAG|LIBXC2}},
 
{{TAG|ALDAX}},
The special flags for range-separated RPA have not been extensively tested and should be used only after careful inspection of the source code. The flags allow to select range-separated ACFDT calculations, where a short-range local (DFT-like) exchange and correlation kernel is added to the long-range exchange and RPA correlation energy.

GGA = PE | RP | PS | AM | LIBXC | ...
Default: GGA = exchange-correlation functional in accordance with the POTCAR file 

Description: GGA specifies a LDA or GGA exchange-correlation functional.

This tag was added to perform GGA calculations with pseudopotentials generated with conventional LDA reference configurations.

Important: VASP recalculates the exchange-correlation energy inside the PAW sphere and corrects the atomic energies given by the POTCAR file. For this to work, the original LEXCH tag must not be modified in the POTCAR file.

A few points should be noted:

  • The LIBXC option (or just LI) allows to use a LDA or GGA functional from the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc[1][2][3]. Along with GGA=LIBXC, it is also necessary to specify the LIBXC1 and LIBXC2 tags that specify the particular functional. Note that it is necessary to have Libxc >= 5.2.0 installed and VASP.6.3.0 or higher compiled with precompiler options.
  • When the OR, BO, MK, ML or CX GGA is used in combination with the nonlocal vdW-DF functional of Dion et al.[4], the GGA component of the correlation should in principle be turned off with AGGAC=0 (see nonlocal vdW-DF functionals).

The possible options for the GGA tag are:

LDA functionals:
CA (or PZ) Slater exchange[5] + Perdew-Zunger parametrization of Ceperley-Alder Monte-Carlo correlation data[6][7]
SL Slater exchange only[5], available since VASP.6.4.3
CA_C (or PZ_C) Correlation-only Perdew-Zunger parametrization of Ceperley-Alder Monte-Carlo correlation data[6][7], available since VASP.6.4.3
VW Slater exchange[5] + Vosko-Wilk-Nusair correlation (VWN5)[8]
HL Slater exchange[5] + Hedin-Lundqvist correlation[9]
WI Slater exchange[5] + Wigner correlation[10] (Eq. (3.2) in Ref. [11])
LIBXC (or LI) Any LDA from Libxc[1][2][3] (the LIBXC1 and LIBXC2 tags are also required)
