Revision as of 12:21, 4 February 2011

GGA = PW | PB | LM | 91 | PE | RP | PS | AM
Default: GGA = type of exchange-correlation in accordance with the POTCAR file 

Description: GGA specifies the type of generalized-gradient-approximation one wishes to use.


This tag was added to perform GGA calculation with pseudopotentials generated with conventional LDA reference configurations.

Possible options are:

PB Perdew -Becke
PW Perdew -Wang 86
LM Langreth-Mehl-Hu
91 Perdew -Wang 91
PE Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof
RP revised Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof
AM AM05[1][2][3]
PS Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof revised for solids (PBEsol)[4]

The tags AM (AM05) and PS (PBEsol) are only supported by VASP.5.X. 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.
