Description: Bandstructure for Si within DFT+HF

Mind: For PBE bandstructure refer to Fcc Si bandstructure example.

Bandstructure in VASP can be obtained in three different ways:

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
System = fcc Si 
ISMEAR = 0; SIGMA = 0.1;
  • KPOINTS
4x4x4
 0
G
 4 4 4
 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

  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

0-weight (Fake) SC procedure (PBE & Hybrids)

This procedure can be applied tocompute bandstructure at Hybrid functionals level.

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

G
 4 4 4
 0 0 0

Hybrid calculation using a uistably modified KPOINTS file

  • 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.

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:

   3.1 Standard SC run using the existing wannier.win file  
   3.2 run wannier90 (wannier90.x wannier90) to generate MLWFs
   3.3 uncomment bandstructure plot flags in wannier90.win and restart wannier90

----
If the wannier90.win file does not exist VASP will create a default wannier90.win compatible with
the POSCAR and INCAR, which need to be suitably modify by including the proper instruction required 
to generate the MLWFs (refer to the wannier90 manual):
