Description: Bandstructure for Si within DFT+HF
Bandstructure in VASP can be obtained following three different procedures. The standard procedure (procedure 1),
applicable at PBE level, is also described in Fcc Si bandstructure example.
Within Hybrid functional theory it is possible to plot bandstructure using procedure 2 or 3.
Procedure 1: Standard procedure (DFT)
Only possible within DFT. Described in Fcc Si bandstructure example:
Standard self-consistent (SC) run
- POSCAR
system Si 5.430 0.5 0.5 0.0 0.0 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.0 0.5 2 cart 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.25 0.25 0.25
- INCAR (see INCAR.dft)
ISMEAR = 0 SIGMA = 0.01 NBANDS = 8
- KPOINTS (see KPOINTS.6)
6x6x6 0 G 6 6 6 0 0 0
Non-SC calculation (ICHARG=11)
Use preconverged CHGCAR file and a suitable KPOINTS file (KPOINTS_PBE_bands)
- INCAR
System = fcc Si ICHARG=11 #charge read file ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = 0.1; LORBIT=11
- KPOINTS
k-points for bandstructure L-G-X-U K-G 10 line reciprocal 0.50000 0.50000 0.50000 1 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 1 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 1 0.00000 0.50000 0.50000 1 0.00000 0.50000 0.50000 1 0.25000 0.62500 0.62500 1 0.37500 0.7500 0.37500 1 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 1
Plot using p4v
P4VASP: p4v
Procedure 2: 0-weight (Fake) SC procedure (PBE & Hybrids)
This procedure can be applied to compute bandstructure at Hybrid functionals and DFT level.

Plot using p4v
P4VASP: p4v
Mind: Remove from the bandstructure plot the eigenvalues corresponding to the the regular k-points mesh.
Procedure 3: VASP2WANNIER90 (GW, Hybrids, PBE)
Wannier function interpolation using the VASP2WANNIER90 interface. Applicable in all cases (here applied for hybrids; for GW see Bandstructure_of_Si_in_GW_(VASP2WANNIER90) example).
Standard DFT run
- INCAR
## Default ISMEAR = 0 SIGMA = 0.01 GGA = PE ## HSE #LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; HFSCREEN = 0.2 ; AEXX = 0.25 #ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4 ; LDIAG = .TRUE. ##VASP2WANNIER #LWANNIER90=.TRUE.
- KPOINTS
Automatically generated mesh 0 G 4 4 4 0 0 0
HSE + LWANNIER90 run
- INCAR
## Default ISMEAR = 0 SIGMA = 0.01 GGA = PE ## HSE LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; HFSCREEN = 0.2 ; AEXX = 0.25 ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4 ; LDIAG = .TRUE. ##VASP2WANNIER LWANNIER90=.TRUE.
Use the wannier90.win file given below which contains all instructions needed to generate the necessary input files for the WANNIER90 runs (wannier90.amn, wannier90.mmn, wannier90.eig).
Mind: If the wannier90.win file does not exist VASP will create a default wannier90.win compatible with the POSCAR and INCAR files, which needs to be suitably modified by including the proper instruction required to generate the maximally localized wannier functions (refer to the WANNIER90 manual).

Compute Wannier functions
run wannier90:
wannier90.x wannier90
This run generates the wannier90 standard output (wannier90.wout) and the file wannier90.chk needed for the wannier interpolation (next step)
Obtain bandstructure (Wannier interpolation) and plot using XMGRACE or GNUPLOT
Uncomment the bandstructure plot flags in wannier90.win and rerun (restart) wannier90:
wannier90.x wannier90
This run generates the following bandstructure files which can be visualized using xmgrace or gnuplot:
wannier90_band.agr
wannier90_band.dat
wannier90_band.gnu

Bandstructure plot in VASP (Three different ways)
1) Standard way: PBE (Fcc Si bandstructure example).
1.1 Standard self-consistent (SC) run
1.2 non-SC calculation (ICHARG=11) using preconverged CHGCAR file and KPOINTS_PBE_bands
1.3 Plot using p4v
2) Fake SC procedure: PBE & HSE
2.1 Standard self-consistent (SC) run
2.2 Additional SC-run using KPOINTS_HSE_bands
2.3 Plot using p4v

The file KPOINTS_HSE_bands is constructed by copying the IBZKPT file from run 2.1 to the KPOINTS file:
