Theoretical Background

GGA exchange-correlation functionals depend on the electron density and its first derivative :

Among the various types of functionals, the GGAs are the fastest to evaluate. They are very often sufficiently accurate for the geometry optimization or the cohesive energy, but less recommended for properties related to the band structure like the band gap. The GGA that has been the most commonly used in solid-state physics is PBE [1].
