A certain number of hybrid functionals are available in VASP, and if VASP was compiled with the library of exchange-correlation functionals Libxc, most of the existing hybrid functionals can be used. Examples of INCAR files are shown below for some of the most popular hybrid functionals.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
HFSCREEN = 0.3 
GGA = PE
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1.0 and ALDAC=1.0, and using the PBE POTCAR files.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
HFSCREEN = 0.2 
GGA = PE
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1.0 and ALDAC=1.0, and using the PBE POTCAR files.

LHFCALC = .TRUE.
GGA = PE
with the default values AEXX=0.25, AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.75, AGGAC=1.0 and ALDAC=1.0, and using the PBE POTCAR files.
  • B3PW91[8] using Libxc
LHFCALC = .TRUE.
AEXX = 0.2
GGA = LIBXC
LIBXC1 = 401 (or HYB_GGA_XC_B3PW91)
and using PBE POTCAR files.
  • B3LYP[9] with VWN3 (or VWN5) for LDA correlation
LHFCALC = .TRUE. 
GGA     = B3 (or B5)
AEXX    = 0.2
AGGAX   = 0.72 
AGGAC   = 0.81 
ALDAC   = 0.19
and using PBE POTCAR files.
  • Hartree-Fock
LHFCALC = .TRUE. 
AEXX    = 1.0
ALDAC   = 0.0 
AGGAC   = 0.0
with the default values AGGAX=1-AEXX=0.0, and using the PBE POTCAR files.
