Dear Wien Members
We know that Engel-Vosko GGA gives the correct band gaps but the
total energies are unreliable. So, if we have a EV converged SCF
calculation, we can calculate optical properties with it, but for
calculating other properties such as X-ray spectrum etc., we should use
the PBE GGA SCF calculations?
Any comments?
Regards and Thanks in advance
