XC = Combination of functionals 

Description: XC specifies a combination of exchange-correlation functionals.


A combination of semilocal functionals can be set with the XC tag. The functionals that can be combined are the functionals implemented in VASP (listed at GGA and METAGGA) as well as the functionals implemented in Libxc[1][2][3].

Examples of INCAR

  • Mixing consisting of 50% PBE[4] and 50% of PBEsol[5]
XC = PE PS
XC_C = 0.5 0.5
  • 50% PBE[4] and 50% of PBEsol[5]
XC = PE PS
XC_C = 0.5 0.5
