<div>Thanks Sir for your valuable time for me.</div><div>I will try to use PBE0. I am using PBE0 first time and do not know how much time wien2k will take for it. I will update here if I get an update.<br></div><div>Anyway, I have calculated phonon bands using PBESol for my two systems (one showing zero bandgaps and another showing some band gap) with <g class="gr_ gr_1502 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" id="1502" data-gr-id="1502">1x1x1</g> supercell. The list is not allowing to send docs me so the same I am sending you in your private email (anyone else interested can ask me for the bands). The phonon band (<g class="gr_ gr_1964 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style multiReplace" id="1964" data-gr-id="1964">case_1.pdf ,</g> the one which giving zero band gap) is showing that structure is thermodynamically not stable while another case (case_2.pdf; the one which is showing some band gap) is thermodynamically stable. Anyway, more comments can be made after having accurate/PBE0 calculations. I am also sending you FORCE_SETS file.</div><div><br></div><div>Again thanks a lot for your kind help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Chin S.<br></div><br><div> <br></div><div> <br></div>

<p>Here is a link towards a paper which treats such systems using
GGA and HSE06. Indeed, with GGA the band gap is nearly zero for
some of them. <br clear="none">

<p>The point is that it seems to me that it will not be too much
problematic although your band gap is zero if the bands are simply
touching at the Fermi level. <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>You must check your band structure first. <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>In the paper they show HSEO6 band structures which clearly
confirm that GGA+U or onsite-hybrid will not be useful. <br clear="none">
</p>
<p>One option for you could be to do band structure using GGA and
Full-hybrid (HSE06 or PBE0) to compare and discuss the
differences. Then if the difference is only band gap reduction,
you could use GGA for the phonons calculations. In addition, it
will allow you to estimate the residual forces using both GGA and
hybrid, which will be one more confirmation (or not) that GGA is
sufficient for your system. <br clear="none">
