Thank you very much for your reply,
I am planning to do transport simulations using the KS Hamiltonian with 
hybrid functionals. but the Hamiltonian that is printed (using  &AO_MATRICES%%KOHN_SHAM_MATRIX 
.TRUE.) doesn't have different blocks for neighboring cells. It is probably 
attributed to the fact that K point keys aren't used with hybrids, even 
though gamma point is considered in the simulations. If I do hybrid 
simulations with k point scheme of "GAMMA" I get an error. Is there any way 
to get the different blocks of Hamitonian (corresponding to neighboring 
cells) similar to what I can get with PBEs?
Many thanks,
Elaheh
