This page gives hints on how to use hybrid functionals with the ABINIT package.
## Introduction
The Fock exchange term has been implemented in ABINIT, both in the norm-
conserving pseudopotential framework and in the PAW one. Some details about
the implementation in ABINIT can be found [[pdf:hybrids-2017.pdf|here]].
For an ABINIT user, to make a calculation of Fock exchange:
\- do a first GGA dataset for the ground state
\- do a second dataset for the Fock calculation choosing [[ixc]]=40-42 (HF,
PBE0, PBE0-1/3), -402 (B3LYP-Libxc), -406 (PBE0-Libxc), -456 (PBE0-1/3 Libxc),
or -427, -428 (HSE03, HSE06).
The energy, forces and stresses are available in the norm-conserving and PAW
frameworks.
A one-shot G0W0 calculation can follow, only in the norm-conserving case at present.
Parallelism is available for spin and k-points [[np_spkpt]], as well as over occupied bands [[nphf]].
!!! warning
Use [[istwfk]]=1, [[iscf]]=2, [[paral_kgb]]=0, [[paral_atom]]=0.
The efficiency of the calculation is not optimal. Work is in progress
concerning this point.
