Dear All, Thanks for your replies. I will go through Ceder's paper. But for the time being, let me ask another question that might be tricky! For simulation of the voltage of Li2FeSiO4, we adopt U for Fe in both Li2FeSiO4 & LiFeSiO4 while for bcc Li we use simple GGA. This

Besides mBJ, self-consistent meta-GGA are not yet in the released WIEN2k versions. From: Wien on behalf of Peter Blaha Sent: Friday, February 11, 2022 8:50 AM To: wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at Subject: Re: [Wien] A basic question regarding using

Let me add from an experimental view. If values of the voltages (formation energies) are known from experiment, then calculating them and getting "agreement" is criminal murder of defenceless electrons. If the values are not known, all one can do is calculate for similar systems where they are

There are certainly works reporting calculations on similar systems and for similar purpose as yours. Just read a few of them to figure out which approach may be appropriate. From: Wien on behalf of shamik chakrabarti Sent: Friday, February 11, 2022

You are right Peter. Here is a paper of Ceder: https://www.nature.com/articles/npjcompumats20162 It is quite tricky. Cheers Xavier On 11/02/2022 08:50, Peter Blaha wrote: Hmm. Depending on the metal, a hybrid DFT calculation for the metal is as problematic (or even more) that a LDA+U
