Can someone help me with doing the dft+U calculation for TiO2 anatase surface slabs (and also its doped systems).

how to set/find the values for ldauu and ldauj tags for the same system?

Hi,

There are many papers discussing the effect of U and J parameters on TiO2 and similar systems.

J. Phys. Chem. C 2011, 115, 7562?7572
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2010, 12, 12956?12960

For Instance you can set the values of U and J in order to have U-J = 3.5:

Hi,

this is an intersting paper discussing different values of U with TiO2 rutile : http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11224-012-0058-3

to get the experimental band gap :
Jedidi, A.; Markovits, A.; Minot, C.; Bouzriba, S.; Abderraba, M., Modeling Localized Photoinduced Electrons in Rutile-TiO2 Using Periodic DFT+U Methodology†Langmuir. 26(21): p. 16232-16238
