[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16962] Getting a larger band gap in cp2k than vasp results

['Franklin T Cerasoli' via cp2k]

In hindsight, DFT+U widens the gap. So, my suggestion may have been irrelevant.
It may be worth seeing what other “beyond DFT” methods are used.

Hey Frank,

Sorry about the late reply. I didn't implement a Hubbard U. Seems that cp2k doesn't support DFT+U when using a kpoint mesh though.

Hello Jacob,

Do you implement a Hubbard U parameter?
I notice that the paper mentions that there are “beyond DFT” methods used, such as DFT+U. Hubbard functional is known to correct bandgap overestimation.

Hey all,

I am trying to replicate the results in cp2k from a paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s42005-018-0009-4) where they calculate band structures and DOS of the cuprate LCO in Vasp. The results for my band structure don't quite look like theirs however. One of the big differences is that I am getting a band gap that is about twice as big as theirs.

I am using the same functional as them, and have used the same kpoint mesh. Had hoped increasing the size of the basis set would help, but didn't help at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I attached my input file below.

Thanks,
Jacob
