LIBXC1
LIBXC1 = [integer] or [string]
Description: LIBXC1 and LIBXC2 specify the functionals from the library of exchange-correlation functionals [1][2] that one wants to use.
LIBXC1 and LIBXC2 can be either integers or strings. The available functionals are listed on the Libxc website[3] and are essentially of three types: exchange (_X_), correlation (_C_) or exchange-correlation (_XC_). The possibilities for LIBXC1 and LIBXC2 are the following:
- Both LIBXC1 and LIBXC2 are specified and correspond to the exchange (_X_) and correlation (_C_) functionals, respectively, or the reverse.
- Only LIBXC1 (or LIBXC2 ) is specified and corresponds to an exchange (_X_) or exchange-correlation (_XC_) functional. It can also be a correlation (_C_) functional, but such a calculation without exchange would not make sense. Examples of how to specify a Libxc functional in INCAR are given below for the PBE[4] and SCAN functionals[5].
- PBE
GGA = LIBXC LIBXC1 = 101 LIBXC2 = 130
or
GGA = LIBXC LIBXC1 = GGA_X_PBE LIBXC2 = GGA_C_PBE
- SCAN
METAGGA = LIBXC LIBXC1 = 101 LIBXC2 = 130
or
METAGGA = LIBXC LIBXC1 = MGGA_X_SCAN LIBXC2 = MGGA_C_SCAN
