Dear Willem
If you look into the comments at the beginning of the file YourQE/Modules/funct.f90 you can see that each functional is defined by six parts. The first four are exchange type, correlation type, gradient correction to exchange type and gradient correction to correlation type

!              "pbe"   = "sla+pw+pbx+pbc"    = PBE

while the last two parts (when present) are reserved to embedded van der Waals corrections (embedded in the sense that they are not added a posteriori as external corrections like DFT-D2 or D3). This corresponds to six numbers that you can find in the output, to be sure that what is computed is what you expect. The same file contains also the meaning of all the single parts (and references to related papers), because you can mix-and-match with functionals (if you know what you are doing, of course ;-D)

Quoting Offermans Willem <[email protected]>:

Dear Quantum Espresso friends,

I’m relatively new to QE. So sorry for a possible stupid question, but what does

Exchange-correlation      = SLA PW PBX PBC ( 1  4  3  4 0 0)

in the output mean?

The PAW data set says:

H.pbe-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF

So, I assumed PBE to be exchange–correlation functional.



Met vriendelijke groeten,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
With kind regards,
