How to do DFT+U calculations

#1 Post by pett » Thu Jun 15, 2006 8:11 pm

Dear all,
I want to do DFT+U calculations on defect matel-oxides system.
I have set
LDAU = .TRUE
LDAUU = 7
LDAUJ = 0.7
in my INCAR.
But I am not sure if the job is treated with DFT+U method.
I can't find any diferent between OUTCARs of DFT and DFT+U.
So how can I sure the job is treated with DFT+U method?
Thanks so much for the respondence.

To get more output set NWRITE = 3 in the INCAR file.

is is written in OUTCAR even with standard NWRITE settings. please search for the string
LDA+U is selected, type is set to LDAUTYPE
and the following lines
