[Wien] it possible to apply first DFT+U and then mBJ+U?

2016-11-27 Thread Dr. K. C. Bhamu
Dear experts I did a calculation for hexagonal AgAlO2 and found that if I do first PBE+U and then apply mBJ+ U, it give smart band gap value which is very close to experimental band gap. But I do not know whether we can apply this U twice or not. The DFT+U calculation underestimates and only mBJ s

Dear Bhamu In the present case, you are dealing with Ag+ ions and thus a d10 electronic configuration for silver. In such a case applying a Hubbard correction will mainly lead to correct the position of the Ag(4d) states which are all occupied and below the O(2p) band. It should not affect s
