<div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"><div>Dear wien2k users,</div><div><br></div><div> We know that charge transfer type band gap (transition metal d - oxygen p) is generally underestimated in simple DFT calculation. Situation may improve a bit by using DFT+U approach, however, more accurate band gap may be found in Hybrid-DFT calculation. </div><div><br></div><div>Now, my question is that is there any scaling factor by which the underestimation for a charge-transfer type gap in a simple DFT calculation can be approximated. </div><div><br></div><div>Say, in a simple DFT we have found 0.5 eV gap for charge transfer type states...then whether it can be said that the accurate gap may be 1.5 eV...that mean there is an underestimation of 1 eV for a charge-transfer type gap in simple DFT calculation......whether there is any such thumb rule like that or it strictly depends on the system under consideration? </div><div><br></div><div>Any response in this regard will be very helpful for us.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>with regards,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Shamik Chakrabarti<br>Senior Research Fellow<br>Dept. of Physics & Meteorology<br>Material Processing & Solid State Ionics Lab<br>IIT Kharagpur<br>Kharagpur 721302<br>INDIA</div>
