Hi dear all,

Is there a manual for B3LYP functional in VASP 5.2?

Should we use any special pseudopotentials for hybrid functional calculations? Or can I use PBE POTCAR files?

Thanks

There is no clear procedure for B3LYP calculation in the manual. The has been some discussion in this forum at this link http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp-forum/ ... php?4.6205
Hope it helps a bit.

Thanks for your answer.

Even doing single point energy calculation (NSW = 0) is time consuming.
