Dear Eleftheria,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">the standard DFT+U implementation has always been available for GGA pseudopotentials (even when it was called with its historical name, LDA+U), because it does not depend, in fact, on the functional you are correcting. The extra piece in the Hamiltonian
only needs atomic occupations to be defined and they are with NC, US and even PAW pseudopotentials, independently from the kind of functional used in their construction and in the actual calculation.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you are referring to the PP-based implemtation of DFT+U (the one introduced/described in PRB 87, 085108 (2013)) I think it also does not depend on the specific PP/functional you are using (otherwise there would be DFT+U PPs) and the code is
able to add the correction at run-time, provided atomic integration radii are defined somehow (from the PP file or from input). However, I don’t have experience with this implementation so if you want to have a more precise answer you better ask the authors
of the paper.</div>

<div class="">Hello,<br class="">
<br class="">
Is DFT+U (formerly known as LDA+U) now expanded to apply to GGA <br class="">
pseudopotentials?<br class="">
I have tried this flag with PBE functionals and it helps convergence.<br class="">
But is this combination acceptable?<br class="">
