[Wien] Large band gap in LDA+U

[Ali Baghizhadeh]

Dear Prof. Laurence
Thank you.
My lattice is (Lu0.5Sc0.5)FeO3, for LuFeO3 everything works fine (LDA+U).
My case.inorb is as following, with atom 5 and 14 as Fe:
1  2  0                     nmod, natorb, ipr
PRATT  1.0                    BROYD/PRATT, mixing
  5 1 2                          iatom nlorb, lorb
  14 1 2                          iatom nlorb, lorb
  1                              nsic 0..AMF, 1..SIC, 2..HFM
   0.367 0.073        U J (Ry)   Note: you can also use U_eff = U-J and J=0
   5.00  1.00        U J

And case.indmc
-12.                      Emin cutoff energy
2                       number of atoms for which density matrix is calculated
5  1  2      index of 1st atom, number of L's, L1
14  1  2      ditto for 2nd atom, repeat NATOM times
0 0           r-index, (l,s)index

Best regards
Ali

For LuFeO3 you need to do something for the Lu (ScFeO3 is simpler).

Beyond this, I suspect you setup the LDA+U incorrectly. However, this is a guess.

Dear Wien2k users
I am trying to calculate band gap of h-(Lu,Sc)FeO3 oxide using WieN2k 19, with PBE potential. To do so, I used spin polarized AFM calculation by breaking symmetry of lattice to have opposite spin directions for Fe. Then after convergence of scf, I did optimize atomic positions. In PDOS plot, it shows metallic behavior, while experimentally, I expect something like 1.6 eV band gap. Then I used LDA+U, from 1 ev to 6 ev, the PDOS shows band gap of 3.2 eV no matter which U chooses for spin up Fe, and again metallic phase for spin down Fe. I do not know how to resolve my problem, and what parameters or steps might be wrong and I have to check? Any comment will be really appreciated.

Sincerely
Ali Baghi zadeh
