[Pw_forum] Selection of functional type for Raman Spectra

[Masood Yousaf]

Dear QE users,


To the best of my knowledge, in order to calculate Raman Spectra, one can
only use Norm-conserving Perdew-Wang LDA type functional for the
calculation in Quantum Espresso. While for materials such as Cu2O, LDA may
not be a good choice for its electronic description (PHYSICAL REVIEW B 87,
115111 (2013)). *So how can one justify the use of LDA for Raman
calculation for Cu2O with LDA ?*


*What is the justification for the use of LDA for Raman Spectra Calculation
if the electronic structure of a system is well described by other
functional such LDA+U or Hybrid functional ?*
