DFT+U: localizing electrons on combination of atomic orbitals

TLDR: DFT+U is a cheap scheme to help localize electrons on atomic orbitals by penalizing fractional occupancies of such orbitals. However, when one tries to localize an electron/hole on an atomic ...

Is it necessary to use DFT+U when calculating binding energy?

Recently I am trying to calculate the binding energy between CO2/ C2H2 and MOF (containing Ni, C, H, O, N). I want to know that do I have to use DFT+U for Ni element in this binding energy calculation?...

could meta-GGA-r2scan descript d electron localization and polaron the same as Hybrid functional?

I notice that r2scan could be more accurate than rscan, but I am unsure if r2scan could describe the d electron localization without Hubbard+U? Or do I still need Hubbard+U with r2scan?

Phonon Dispersion of SrTiO3, EuTiO3 using Quantum Espresso (DFT-U)

the last few days I've tried to calculate the phonon-dispersion of SrTiO3 (STO) and EuTiO3 (ETO) using the PHonon package of QE. SCF, DOS, PDOS and Bandsctructure calculation worked well on these ...

The comparison of bandgap value of slab and bulk phase [closed]

I tried to calculate the bandgap of the TiO2-Rutile bulk phase, DFT(not +U) calculation shows the bandgap is about 1.8eV, which is roughly the same as the 1.78eV on the Material Project. When ...

In which conditions can the self-consistent Hubbard U value calculated using Quantum Espresso be used for other VASP calculations?

I have seen that some articles calculate Hubbard $U$ value self-consistently using Quantum Espresso code. Then, they use it in VASP calculations. My question is: In which conditions can this value be ...

How to calculate the potential in Hubbard-U correction and when to apply it?

I have seen that in certain cases Hubbard-U correction is relevant yet I have seen a number of papers that have not used it. So, I want to know if there is any theoretical basis for finding this ...

The Hund's J - Why can this be quantified?

I was reading on the implementation of Hubbard 'U' in Density Functional Theory. The Hubbard 'U' can be thought of as a parameter that accounts for the on-site electron-electron interactions in ...

What is the appropriate way of determining a value for the Hubbard-like potential U for LDA+U / GGA+U calculations?

It is known that neither LDA or GGA correctly account for the strong on-site Coulomb interaction of localized electrons[1]. A cost-effective way of correcting this is by using a Hubbard-like term $U$. ...
