[Wien] A small query

Thank you Dr Tran

Thank you for making the situation clear.
As you said " this is not important since only the band structure should
be considered after a mBJ calculation".
Does it mean that we should report optical and other properties using
original potentials, i.e. lda/gga/pbe etc and not from mBJ.

In many papers including one of my, I got optical and other properties
using mBJ potential.

Kind regards
Bhamu
