[Pw_forum] band structure, can't I use hybrid functional?

[xirainbow]

Dear Davide:
              I guess so.
              In LDA and GGA functionals, the Hamiltonian is only
related with charge density. Therefore, band structure can be
calculated with nscf.
              However, in hybrid functional, the Hamiltonian is not
only related with charge density but also with wavefuncitons.
Therefore, band structure must be calculated with scf, instead of
nscf.
