Description: Bandgap of Si using different DFT+HF schemes (PBE, B3LYP, PBE0, HSE06, and HF)


## Better preconverge with PBE first
## and use the WAVECAR file as inout for the DFT+HF calculation

## Selects the B3LYP hybrid function
#LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; GGA = B3 ; AEXX = 0.2 ; AGGAX = 0.72 
#AGGAC = 0.81 ; ALDAC = 0.19
#ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4 

## Selects the PBE0  hybrid function
#LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; 
#ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4 

## Selects the HSE06 hybrid function
#LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; HFSCREEN = 0.2 ; 
#ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4 

## Selects HF 
#LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; AEXX = 1.0 ; ALDAC = 0.0 ; AGGAC = 0
#ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4

  • README.txt
For each HF+DFT method (B3LYP, PBE0, HSE06, and HF) compute the bandgap of Si
adopting the following procedure:

i) Perform a standard PBE calculation
ii) Perform a HF+DFT run (VASP reads in the WAVECAR from run (i)
iii) Calculate the value of the bandgap by running the script 'gap': 
     bandgap = min(cband) - max(vband)
