[Pw_forum] Question about GGA+U in DFPT

[Andrea Floris]

Dear Jiawei,
The DFPT+U implementation is not yet public.  I have recently ported the
code in the last version,  I am optimizing a couple of routines to
calculate the second derivatives of the occupation matrices,  which is a
rather heavy calculation when using ultrasoft pseudos. In a couple of
months it should be available.
Best,
Andrea

> I was planning to use ph.x to calculate the phonon dispersion for some
transition metal oxide within GGA+U, following the work in a paper (A.
Floris et al., Vibrational properties of MnO and NiO from DFT + U-based
density functional perturbation theory, PRB, 84 (2011)), which has
developed GGA+U for DFPT and implemented for two materials MnO and NiO, and
also mentioned that the extension is implemented in the phonon package.
However I found the manual for ph.x says:
>
> "The main code ph.x can be used whenever PWscf can be used, with the
exceptions of
> DFT+U, nonlocal VdW and hybrid functionals"

> So I am confused about whether or not the current phonon package can do a
GGA+U calculation? If not, is LDA+U available using ph.x for the phonon
dispersion? Or is that part still under development? Thanks so much for
your help!
