[Wien] TB-mBJ for a metal?!

[Saeid Jalali]

Dear WIEN2k group,We are studding an insulator within TB-mBJ, and our calculated band gap with the c_opt is in excellent agreement with experiment. Our PBE-GGA result shows that this insulator becomes a metal by doping an impurity in agreement with experiment. Our TB-mBJ calculation for the latter metal cannot be well converged after a lot of iterations. We doped the insulator by another impurity so that it remains insulator. For the latter insulator the TB-mBJ calculation is quickly and well converged.At first glance, it brings in mind that the TB-mBJ may not be applied on a metal. But, we are not sure.Any comments will help us. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
S. Jalali
