LIBXC1_Pn = [real] 

Description: LIBXC1_Pn and LIBXC2_Pn, where [math]\displaystyle{ n=1, 2, ... }[/math] allow to specify the values of the parameters of functionals implemented in Libxc that are called with LIBXC1 and LIBXC2, respectively.


For many functionals implemented in the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc [1][2] it is possible to modify the values of parameters if one does not want to use the default values. If a functional from Libxc has parameters that can be modified, then they are listed in OUTCAR below "Parameters of Libxc functionals:" as P[math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] ([math]\displaystyle{ n=1, 2, ... }[/math]).

An example is given below for the GGA PBE functional[3] where the parameters [math]\displaystyle{ \mu=0.21951 }[/math] in exchange and [math]\displaystyle{ \beta=0.066725 }[/math] in correlation are changed to [math]\displaystyle{ \mu=10/81 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \beta=0.046 }[/math] to get the PBEsol functional[4].

  • PBE turned into PBEsol
GGA = LIBXC
LIBXC1 = 101
LIBXC2 = 130
LIBXC1_P2 = 0.12345679
LIBXC2_P1 = 0.046

Of course
