          Dear Shamik,<br>
          <br>
          To my point of view using the strategy (1) is not correct. I
          understand that B will require a different treatment in ABS2
          and pure B phases.<br>
          <br>
          You certainly has no other choice than using hybrid functional

                                     I have studied the intercalation of

          Hubbard U for B in BS2, and in ABS2 & I got reasonable

          However, now I want to study the voltage corresponding to the

          metal & hence to simulate the voltage<br>
          (1) Should I need to consider the energy value corresponding

          (2) Should I need to consider the energy value corresponding
