在VASP的手册中看到这样一段话: TheL(S)DA often fails to describe systems with localized (strongly correlated) d and f electrons (this manifests itself primarilyin the form of unrealistic one-electron energies). In some cases this can beremedied by introducing a strong intraatomic interaction in a (screened)Hartree-Fock like manner, as an on site replacement of the L(S)DA. Thisapproach is commonly known as the L(S)DA+U method. 然后我就想是不是用GGA,LDA时候,体系中含有d and f electrons的原子时,都要+U呢?为了回答这个问题,我查找了同一类体系的一些参考文献,发现有的文献+U,有的文献不加U。所以我想问的是,这个加不加U是看作者喜好吗?搞得我都不知道需不需要加U了。
