[Wien] mbjlda approximation and experimental lattice constant

[f.tran at pci.uzh.ch]

MBJLDA is only a potential not an energy functional, therefore there is no "MBJLDA lattice constant".
Choose either the lattice constant obtained from a standard functional (LDA or GGA) or from experiment.

Subject: [Wien] mbjlda approximation and experimental lattice constant

  
Dear WIEN2k experts  
I want to use the mbjlda approximation to obtain the band structure of a semiconductor compound, but I don’t know how I can choose the lattice constant. when I studied some articles about this compound, I found that the experimental lattice constant is chosen when the mbjlda approximation is used, Is it a force ( using the experimental lattice constant during the mbjlda approximation) or I can obtain the optimized lattice constant and then calculate the band structure using this lattice constant?


Best Regards
