Hubbard U calculation Date: 2017/11/27 18:57 Name: Reza   <reza_b_m_a@yahoo.com> Dear Users and developers Is it possible to calculate hubbard U in OPENMX? For example, in linear response method or self-consistency approach. Some codes can estimated Hubbard U term, but, I think it is not logical that we use other code U term for OPENMX! Thank you

Re: Hubbard U calculation ( No.1 ) Date: 2017/12/14 10:12 Name: Chi-Cheng Lee  <cclee.physics@gmail.com> Hi Reza, As far as I know, the calculation of self-consistency U has not been implemented in OpenMX. But I think it should be fine to use a reasonable value of U for your calculation. According to my understanding, the screened Coulomb interaction U is not a constant in reality and could have strong frequency dependence. By treating U as a constant itself is already an approximation even though it could come from a self-consistency scheme. So I wouldn't worry about the "logical" too much. The point is if the inclusion of U can give us new physics to the studied systems and makes sense. Cheers, Chi-Cheng
