| The modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential in combination with L(S)DA-correlation<ref name="becke:jcp:06"/><ref name="tran:prl:09"/> ({{TAG|METAGGA}}=MBJ), yields band gaps with an accuracy similar to hybrid functional or GW methods, but computationally less expensive (comparable to standard DFT calculations).
| |
| The modified Becke-Johnson potential is a local approximation to an atomic exact-exchange potential plus a screening term and is given by:
| |
| :<math>
| |
| \text{V}_{x,\sigma}^{\rm MBJ}(\mathbf{r}) = c\text{V}_{x,\sigma}^{\rm BR}(\mathbf{r}) + (3c-2)\frac{1}{\pi}\sqrt{\frac{5}{12}}\sqrt{\frac{2\tau_{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})}{\rho_{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})}}.
| |
| </math>
| |
| where ρ<sub>σ</sub> denotes the electron density, τ<sub>σ</sub> the kinetic energy density, and V<sup>BR</sup>('''r''') the Becke-Roussel potential:
| |
| :<math>
| |
| \text{V}_{x,\sigma}^{\rm BR}(\mathbf{r}) = -\frac{1}{b_{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})} [1-e^{-x_{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})}-\frac{1}{2}x_{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})e^{-x_{\sigma}(\mathbf{r})}].
| |
| </math>
| |
| The Becke-Roussel potential was introduced to mimic the Coulomb potential created by the exchange hole. It is local and completely determined by ρ<sub>σ</sub>, ∇ρ<sub>σ</sub>, ∇<sup>2</sup>ρ<sub>σ</sub>, and τ<sub>σ</sub>.
| |
| The function b<sub>σ</sub> is given by:

| |
| b_{\sigma} = [x^3_{\sigma}e^{-x_{\sigma}}/(8\pi\rho_{\sigma})]^{\frac{1}{3}},

| where α and β are two free parameters, that may be set by means of the {{TAG|CMBJA}} and {{TAG|CMBJB}} tags, respectively. The defaults of α=−0.012 (dimensionless) and β=1.023 bohr<sup>1/2</sup> were chosen such that for a constant electron density roughly the LDA exchange is recovered.

CMBJ = [real (array)]
Default: CMBJ = calculated self-consistently
Description: defines the parameter in the MBJ potential.
The CMBJ tag can be set in the following ways:
- Specify a constant that is used at every point of space
CMBJ = c
- Specify one entry per atomic type
CMBJ = c_1 c_2 .. c_n
where the order and number is in accordance with atomic types in your POSCAR file. The MBJ exchange potential at a point will then be calculated using the parameter belonging to the atomic species of the atomic site nearest to .
If CMBJ is not set, is calculated at each electronic step as the average of in the unit cell, as explained in the description of the METAGGA tag.
