My approach. You chose some valid set of experimental knowns, e.g. atomization energies of clusters, heats of formation, reactions using relevant atoms. You then vary the fraction to find the best fit. The value will only be "best" to about 0.05. An alternative that in a few cases worked

[Wien] Optimization of fraction of exact exchange

2017-09-23 Thread Wien2k User
Dear Wien2k users: In a recently published work using Hybrid Funtional I read that the authors have optimized the fraction of exact exchange but I did not understand how to choose its optimal value My question is how to optimize the fraction of exact exchange (alpha) *.*
