Hi,<br>Probably you will want to apply a shift to obtain a correct bandgap. If you want to do it with the option shit=..., first read <br clear="all">PRB 48, 11789 (1993). <br>epsilon.x has implemented what is called "naive scissors correction". <br>
The correction is easy to implement, and I have a working one for version 4.3. Sooner or later it will get to the distribution, (if I am not wrong). <br><br>Use LDA, as in the PRB article, and I think also semilocal GGA functionals are fine. Do not use a hybrid functional. <br>

Iwan, take a look at epsilon.x inside PP directory. Be careful,
epsilon.x only implements RPA (Random Phase Approximation) dielectric
function with no local fields effects and without the nonlocal part of
the pseudopotential.<div>

Dear All,<br><span><br>I am Iwan Darmadi, undergraduate physics student, Universitas Indonesia.<br>
Currently I am running TM doped ZnO simulation using Quantum Espresso.<br> <br>At the moment, I plan to calculate dielectric function (frequency<br>dependent) of my model. I have read the manual and other sources<br>but I hardly find how to calculate them.<br>
<br>My question is, does QE have feature to calculate frequency dependent dielectric function ?<br>If yes, could anyone tell me the main steps to calculate them ?<br></span><br>
