ALDAX = [real]
Default: ALDAX = 1.0-AEXX if LHFCALC=.TRUE. or 1.0 if LHFCALC=.FALSE. 

Description: ALDAX is a parameter that multiplies the LDA exchange functional or the LDA part of a GGA exchange functional.


ALDAX can be used as the fraction of LDA exchange in a Hartree-Fock/LDA or Hartree-Fock/GGA hybrid functional.

Note that for versions of VASP prior to 6.4.0, the sum of ALDAX and the fraction of the exact exchange AEXX was constrained to be 1.0. Examples: if AEXX=0.25, 1/4 of the exact exchange is used, and 3/4 of the LDA exchange is added. For AEXX=0.5, half of the exact exchange is used, and one half of the LDA exchange is added.
