    Hello,

    I would like to run HSE06 calculation using libxc. I just want to make sure if it is the correct way to run it.
    I perform two runs. The first run uses PBE with normal DFT calculation:

    tasks
    0
    
    xctype
    100 101 130
    

    Then I perform a second with Hartree Fock calculation and set the correlation part (exchange part
    has to be 0 else there will be error message, right?) as HSE06 functional:

    tasks
    5
    
    xctype
     100 0 428
    

    Is it the correct way to run HSE06?

    Thanks,

    Hi Shu-Ting,

    it's not, because elk does not support screened hybrids. And I don't quite trust the usual hybrids. I remember there were issues and I'm not quite sure if these have been resolved by now.

    Regards,
    Markus
