##############################################
## Optimum HSE mixing parameter (AEXX) for MgO
## Expt gap = 7.8 eV
## fit gap wrt. 0<AEXX<1
## Compute the bandgap using different value of AEXX 
## in the range (0,1) and find the value which leads 
## to the best agreement with the experimental gap. 
## hint: the gap grows lineraly with AEXX
## Better preconverge with PBE first!

## Selects the HSE06 hybrid function
#LHFCALC = .TRUE. ; HFSCREEN = 0.2 ; AEXX=0.25  
#ALGO = D ; TIME = 0.4 
     
## Leave this in
ISMEAR =  0

Calculation

  • script to extract G-eigenvalues and calculate the bandgap
grep "      4     " OUTCAR | head -8 | \
awk 'BEGIN{i=1}{a[i]=$2 ; i=2} END{for (j=1;j<i;j++) print j,a[j]}' > vband.dat
grep "      5     " OUTCAR | head -8 | \
awk 'BEGIN{i=1}{a[i]=$2 ; i=2} END{for (j=1;j<i;j++) print j,a[j]}' > cband.dat

The bandgap is obainted by substracting the eigenvalues written in cband.dat (conduction band minimum at Gamma) and vband.dat (valence band maximum at Gamma)
