[QE-users] Regarding band calculations using HSE hybrid functionals

2022-02-25 Thread Srihari Venugopala Rao
Dear all, Currently I am working on bismuth ferrite using PBE exchange functionals which unfortunately predicts it to be a metal (It is a semiconductor of bandgap of about 2.67 eV). In view of this wrong prediction, I started using hybrid functionals, I was slightly confused about

Hello, I want to study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties pure metal element and metallic alloy like elastic constant, energy formation of defects … I have been calculated it at the ground state at 0K. Can anyone suggest me which expression of Q.E. need to do this calculati
