XC = Combination of functionals 

Description: XC specifies a combination of exchange-correlation functionals.


A combination of semilocal functionals can be set with the XC tag. The functionals that can be combined are the functionals implemented in VASP (listed at GGA and METAGGA) and the functionals implemented in Libxc[1][2][3] (listed on the Libxc website[4]). The combination can consist up to 100 components, and for each of them a multiplication factor can be set with the XC_C tag.

Examples of INCAR

  • 50% of PBE[5] and 50% of PBEsol[6]
XC = PE PS
XC_C = 0.5 0.5
  • SCAN exchange [5] combined with PBE correlation[5]
XC = SCAN_X PBE_C
  • 70% of B88[7] (from Libxc) and 30% of PBE[5] (from VASP) for exchange and 100% of LYP for correlation[8] (Libxc)
XC = GGA_X_B88 PBE_X GGA_C_LYP
XC_C = 0.7 0.3 1.0
