GGA = PE | RP | PS | AM | LIBXC | ...

Default: The functional specified by LEXCH in the POTCAR if METAGGA and XC are also not specified.

Description: Selects a LDA or GGA exchange-correlation functional.

Important: VASP recalculates the exchange-correlation energy inside the PAW sphere and corrects the atomic energies given by the POTCAR file. For this to work, the original LEXCH tag must not be modified in the POTCAR file.

Mind:

When the OR, BO, MK, ML or CX GGA is used in combination with the nonlocal vdW-DF functional of Dion et al.^[1], the GGA component of the correlation should in principle be turned off with AGGAC=0 (see nonlocal vdW-DF functionals).
The XC tag, available since VASP.6.4.3, can be used to specify any linear combination of LDA, GGA and METAGGA exchange-correlation functionals.

Available functionals

This table lists the LDA and GGA functionals available in VASP. The names of functionals which end with "_X" and "_C" correspond to exchange-only and correlation functionals, respectively.

GGA=	Type	Description

BO⁽²⁾	GGA	optB88 exchange^[21] + PBE correlation.^[12] PARAM1=0.1833333333 for $\beta$ and PARAM2=0.22 for $\mu$ also need to be specified.

(1) The Slater LDA exchange includes relativistic effects.

(2) The exchange component was designed in particular to be used as the exchange component of Nonlocal vdW-DF functionals and with AGGAC=0 such that only LDA is used for the local correlation, see list of nonlocal vdW-DF functionals.

-The LIBXC tag (or just LI) allows to use a LDA or GGA functional from the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc{{cite|marques:cpc:2012}}{{cite|lehtola:sx:2018}}{{cite|libxc}}. Along with {{TAG|GGA}}=LIBXC, it is also necessary to specify the {{TAG|LIBXC1}} and {{TAG|LIBXC2}} tags that specify the particular functional. Note that it is necessary to have [[Makefile.include#Libxc_.28optional.29|Libxc >= 5.2.0 installed]] and VASP.6.3.0 or higher compiled with [[Precompiler_options#-DUSELIBXC|precompiler options]].
+<span style="color:blue">(1)</span> The Slater LDA exchange includes relativistic effects.
-The AM05 functional and the PBEsol functional are constructed using different principles, but both aim at a decent description of yellium surface energies. In practice, they yield quite similar results for most materials. Both are available for spin-polarized calculations.
+<span style="color:blue">(2)</span> The exchange component was designed in particular to be used as the exchange component of {{TAG|Nonlocal vdW-DF functionals}} and with {{TAG|AGGAC}}=0 such that only LDA is used for the local correlation, see [[Nonlocal_vdW-DF_functionals#List_of_nonlocal_vdW-DF_functionals|list of nonlocal vdW-DF functionals]].
-The special flags for range-separated RPA have not been extensively tested and should be used only after careful inspection of the source code. The flags allow to select range-separated ACFDT calculations, where a short-range local (DFT-like) exchange and correlation kernel is added to the long-range exchange and RPA correlation energy.
