<!--- This is the source file for this topics. Can be edited. -->
This page gives hints on how to perform a LDA-1/2 calculation with the ABINIT package.
## Introduction
This feature is available only in PAW. The LDA-1/2 framework is described in
[[cite:Ferreira2008]]. In ABINIT, the LDA-1/2 approximation needs to use PAW
data files that contain a small potential vminushalf that is added to the
local potential inside the code. The LDA-1/2 approach is based on Slater's
half occupation technique to restore the band gap of semi-conductors and
insulators.
