AEXX = [real] 

Default: AEXX = 0.25 if LHFCALC=.TRUE.
= 0 otherwise

Description: AEXX specifies the fraction of exact exchange in a Hartree-Fock-type/hybrid-functional calculation.


Mind: For versions of VASP prior to 6.4.0, ALDAX was constrained to be equal to 1.0-AEXX. This constraint is lifted since VASP.6.4.0.

A comprehensive evaluation of the performance of the PBE0 functional, as compared to PBE, can be found in Ref. [1].

For AEXX=1.0, VASP switches off correlation by default (ALDAC=0.0, AGGAC=0.0, and AMGGAC=0.0) and thus runs a full Hartree-Fock-type calculation.
