A certain number of unscreened and screened hybrid functionals are available in VASP, and furthermore if VASP is compiled with the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc, then most of the existing hybrid functionals can be used[1]. Examples of INCAR files are shown below. Since VASP.6.4.0 it is possible to use hybrid functionals that mix meta-GGA and Hartree-Fock exchange. Note that it is in general recommended to use the PBE POTCAR files for hybrid functionals.

Range-separated hybrid functionals

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
HFSCREEN = 0.2
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
HFSCREEN = 0.3
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PS
HFSCREEN = 0.2
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

  • Dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) RS-DDH[7]
LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LMODELHF = .TRUE.
AEXX = [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{\infty}^{-1} }[/math]
BEXX = 0.25
HFSCREEN = [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math]
GGA = PE
where [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{\infty}^{-1} }[/math] is the inverse dielectric constant and [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math] is the range-separation parameter. See a detailed description of the DDH functionals in the documentation for the LMODELHF tag as well as here.

  • Dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) DD-RSH-CAM,[8]DSH[9]
LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LMODELHF = .TRUE.
AEXX = [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{\infty}^{-1} }[/math]
HFSCREEN = [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math]
GGA = PE
with the default value BEXX=1 and where [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{\infty}^{-1} }[/math] is the inverse dielectric constant and [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math] is the range-separation parameter. See a detailed description of the DDH functionals in the documentation for the LMODELHF tag as well as here.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LRHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = CA (or PZ)
HFSCREEN = 0.75 # Optimal value for solids
ALDAC = 1.0     # Necessary since correlation is by default not included when AEXX=1
with the default value AEXX=1.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LRHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
HFSCREEN = 0.91 # Optimal value for the enthalpies of formation of molecules
ALDAC = 1.0     # Necessary since correlation is by default not included when AEXX=1
AGGAC = 1.0     # Necessary since correlation is by default not included when AEXX=1
with the default values AEXX=1.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
LTHOMAS = .TRUE.
GGA = CA (or PZ)
HFSCREEN = [math]\displaystyle{ k_{\rm TF} }[/math]
ALDAC = 1.0     # Necessary since correlation is by default not included when AEXX=1
AGGAC = 1.0     # Necessary since correlation is by default not included when AEXX=1
with the default value AEXX=1 and where [math]\displaystyle{ k_{\rm TF} }[/math] is the Thomas-Fermi screening. More details can be found at LTHOMAS as well as here.

Unscreened hybrid functionals

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1, and ALDAC=1.

  • B3LYP[16] with VWN3 (or VWN5) for LDA correlation
LHFCALC = .TRUE. 
GGA     = B3 (or B5)
AEXX    = 0.2
AGGAX   = 0.72 
AGGAC   = 0.81 
ALDAC   = 0.19
with the default value ALDAX=1-AEXX=0.8.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.

LIBXC1 = HYB_GGA_XC_B3PW91 # or 401
AEXX = 0.2


LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = LIBXC
LIBXC1 = HYB_GGA_XC_B1WC # or 412
AEXX = 0.16

  • SCAN0
LHFCALC = .TRUE.
METAGGA = SCAN
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AMGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, and AMGGAC=1.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
AEXX = [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{\infty}^{-1} }[/math]


LHFCALC = .TRUE.
METAGGA = R2SCAN
AEXX = [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{\infty}^{-1} }[/math]

  • Hartree-Fock (no correlation)
LHFCALC = .TRUE. 
AEXX    = 1

with the default values AGGAX=1-AEXX=0, ALDAC=0, and AGGAC=0.


Mind: Note the default values when LHFCALC=.TRUE.:
