Dear José, the current version of qe (develop branch in GitLab) allows you to use libxc functionals for LDA, GGA and mGGA. No kinetic functionals at the moment. To use libxc functionals you must enforce them from input (use 'input_dft' in ) and write their names in the input string. The order is

Dear all, While reading pp.x description: the plot num= 1 plots   'V_bare+V_H+V_xc' the plot num=11 plots  'V_bare+V_H' the plot num=2   plots  'V_bare' Then, it seems then that: to obtain V_H,   a substraction of plot 11-plot 2 is enough. to obtain V_xc, a  substraction of plot 1-plot 11 is

Dear Pooja Vyas You should first ask your supervisor. If you have no supervisor, then I'm afraid you should start reading a) a solid-state physics book (Ashcroft-Mermin may be a good starting point) and b) a DFT book (among many, Parr-Yang, Dreizler-Gross, ...). There are a lot of QE

You can google "smearing temperature in metal" for getting more detailed information. e.g., http://cmt.dur.ac.uk/sjc/Castep_Lectures2/lecture16.PDF note that there are serval seaming functions that can be used, so that to ask a specific number without choosing a functions is meaningless. e.g.,

This is a parameter you need to converge for metal. you need to converge both k point grid and smearing temperature. Cheers, Sky -- Jianqiang (Sky) ZHOU European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility
