Bases: VaspInputGenerator

Class to generate VASP HSE06 band structure input sets.

HSE06 band structures must be self-consistent. A band structure along symmetry lines for instance needs BOTH a uniform grid with appropriate weights AND a path along the lines with weight 0.

Thus, the “uniform” mode is just like regular static SCF but allows adding custom kpoints (e.g., corresponding to known VBM/CBM) to the uniform grid that have zero weight (e.g., for better gap estimate).

The “gap” mode behaves just like the “uniform” mode, however, if starting from a previous calculation, the VBM and CBM k-points will automatically be added to added_kpoints.

The “line” mode is just like Uniform mode, but additionally adds k-points along symmetry lines with zero weight.

The “uniform_dense” mode employs are regular weighted k-point mesh, in addition to a zero-weighted uniform mesh with higher density.

Note

By default the hybrid input sets use ALGO = Normal which is only efficient for VASP 6.0 and higher. See https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/LFOCKACE for more details.

Parameters:
  • mode (str) – Type of band structure mode. Options are “line”, “uniform”, “gap”, or “uniform_dense”.

  • dedos (float) – Energy difference used to set NEDOS, based on the total energy range.

  • reciprocal_density (float) – Density of k-mesh by reciprocal volume.

  • line_density (float) – Line density for line mode band structure.

  • zero_weighted_reciprocal_density (float) – Density of uniform zero weighted k-point mesh.

  • optics (bool) – Whether to add LOPTICS (used for calculating optical response).

  • nbands_factor (float) – Multiplicative factor for NBANDS when starting from a previous calculation. Choose a higher number if you are doing an LOPTICS calculation.

  • added_kpoints (list[Vector3D]) – A list of kpoints in fractional coordinates to add as zero-weighted points.

  • **kwargs – Other keyword arguments that will be passed to VaspInputGenerator.
