====== Hartree-Fock exchange ======
The purpose of this section is to explain how to compute hybrid functionals (or Hartree-Fock exchange, HFX) with CP2K in condensed phase systems. It is based on the developments described in [[doi>10.1021/ct900494g]] and [[doi>10.1063/1.2931945]], and its efficient extension (ADMM) described in [[doi>10.1021/ct1002225]].
Hartree-Fock exchange in CP2K is based on four center integrals, these are computed with an external library ([[http://sourceforge.net/projects/libint/|libint]]). Do these exercises, CP2K must be linked to this library.
This approach has a computational cost that depends strongly on the nature of the basis, unless combined with ADMM (see below), do not use MOLOPT basis sets with HFX. We use basis sets from ''HFX_BASIS'', which are suitable.
===== Truncated Coulomb operator =====
To enable HFX in the condensed phase (described at the Gamma point only), CP2K employs a truncated Coulomb operator for the exchange part. The physical picture is that we do not want to have 'self-exchange interactions' of an electron with its image in neighboring unit cells. As a rule of thumb, the maximum range (truncation radius) is L/2 where L is the smallest edge of the unit cell. The convergence of the exchange energy is exponential wrt. this radius. Typically, 5-6A provides good results, but this depends on the nature of the system, i.e. the band gap or the range of the maximally localized Wannier orbitals.
==== 1st task : GGA restart wfn ====
using the water input from the [[exercises:2015_pitt:aimd|previous exercise]], we will perform a single point GGA calculation to generate an initial wavefunction (wfn) restart. HFX calculations benefit from this.
Change the input to:
* ''RUN_TYPE ENERGY''
* ''IOLEVEL MEDIUM''
* ''RESTART ON''
* comment section ''&EXT_RESTART''
Run the input and rename the generated wfn file (''WATER-RESTART.wfn'') to ''WATER-RESTART-GGA.wfn''.
Also make a note of the ''HOMO - LUMO gap [eV]''
==== 2nd task: PBE0-D3 water ====
To do a hybrid calculation, we just change the &XC section. Various examples can be found in the regtests, but here we employ a section equivalent to PBE0-D3.
Change the input to:
* ''SCF_GUESS RESTART''
* ''WFN_RESTART_FILE_NAME WATER-RESTART-GGA.wfn''
And employ the following ''&XC'' section:
! specify the exchange and correlation treatment
&XC
! use a PBE0 functional
&XC_FUNCTIONAL
&PBE
! 75% GGA exchange
SCALE_X 0.75
! 100% GGA correlation
SCALE_C 1.0
&END PBE
&END XC_FUNCTIONAL
&HF
! 25 % HFX exchange
FRACTION 0.25
&SCREENING
! important parameter to get stable HFX calcs
EPS_SCHWARZ 1.0E-6
! needs a good (GGA) initial guess
SCREEN_ON_INITIAL_P TRUE
&END
&INTERACTION_POTENTIAL
! for condensed phase systems
POTENTIAL_TYPE TRUNCATED
! should be less than halve the cell
CUTOFF_RADIUS 6.0
! data file needed with the truncated operator
T_C_G_DATA ./t_c_g.dat
&END
&MEMORY
! In MB per MPI rank.. use as much as need to get in-core operation
MAX_MEMORY 4000
EPS_STORAGE_SCALING 0.1
&END
&END
! adding Grimme's D3 correction (by default without C9 terms)
&VDW_POTENTIAL
POTENTIAL_TYPE PAIR_POTENTIAL
&PAIR_POTENTIAL
PARAMETER_FILE_NAME dftd3.dat
TYPE DFTD3
REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL PBE0
R_CUTOFF [angstrom] 16
&END
&END VDW_POTENTIAL
&END XC
Topics:
* ''EPS_SCHWARZ'', ''EPS_PGF_ORB'', ''SCREEN_ON_INITIAL_P'' : parameters to guarantee stable SCF.
* Fraction of exchange (''SCALE_X'', ''FRACTION'').

Topics:
* in-core operation.
* How to detect instabilities due to too aggressive screening.
Question: What is the HOMO-LUMO gap for this configuration ? How does this compare to the GGA result ? Adjust the fraction of exchange (modify the input in two places!) to 20% and/or 30%, how does this influence the gap ?
===== Truncated Coulomb operator with long range correction =====
Like in the HSE functional, the difference between the operator used for exchange and 1/r, can be accounted for by a special GGA exchange functional. Also for the truncated coulomb operator this is possible, and allows for xc functionals that embed very short range exchange operators only. This can be used to speedup the calculation, while retaining the benefits of HFX. The functional employed in this way smoothly goes from PBE to PBE0 as the range goes from 0 to Infinity.
==== 3rd task ====
Add to the &XC_FUNCTIONAL section (i.e. in addition to &PBE) the following section:
&PBE_HOLE_T_C_LR
CUTOFF_RADIUS 2.5
SCALE_X 0.25
&END
and employ the same ''CUTOFF_RADIUS'' for the ''INTERACTION_POTENTIAL''.
Rerun the single point energy calculation and note the band gap.
* Is such a short range sufficient to have a sizable effect on the band gap ?
* is ''HFX_MEM_INFO| Number of cart. primitive ERI's calculated'' very different for calculations with 2.5 and 6.0A truncation radius ?
===== Auxiliary Density Matrix Methods (ADMM) =====
ADMM is an approach to mitigate the cost of HFX for large basis sets. In particular, if MOLOPT basis sets are used, standard HFX becomes too expensive (CP2K can not deal efficiently with highly contracted AOs). In ADMM, an ''AUX_FIT_BASIS_SET'' is introduced, which is used to create an auxiliary density matrix (ADM) by projection. HFX is evaluated for this ADM, while the error introduced by using an ADM is corrected for with a GGA exchange functional.
==== 4rd task : introduce ADMM ====
Make the following changes:
* insert and additional line ''BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME BASIS_ADMM'' (and copy that file from cp2k/data as needed).
* insert for each ''&KIND'' a line ''AUX_FIT_BASIS_SET cFIT3''
* insert a secion ''&AUXILIARY_DENSITY_MATRIX_METHOD''
! use ADMM
&AUXILIARY_DENSITY_MATRIX_METHOD
! recommended, i.e. use a smaller basis for HFX
! each kind will need an AUX_FIT_BASIS_SET.
METHOD BASIS_PROJECTION
! recommended, this method is stable and allows for MD.
! can be expensive for large systems
ADMM_PURIFICATION_METHOD MO_DIAG
&END
In this tutorial we combine ADMM using a very small basis set (cFIT3) with a small primary basis (DZVP-GTH), so gains are small at best (and the results not very accurate). ADMM is most useful with good quality primary basis sets, such as e.g. MOLOPTs
For CP2K 2.7, a [[https://sourceforge.net/p/cp2k/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/cp2k/data/BASIS_ADMM_MOLOPT|new library of ADMM basis sets]] will be made available.
Run the input, what's the ''HOMO - LUMO gap'' ?
===== Chasing charge localization in liquid water =====
The combination of truncated exchange and ADMM results in the most effective way to run AIMD with hybrid functionals. In some systems the difference between GGA DFT and hybrids is very large. One such systems is liquid water after ionization (i.e. charge +1), where only with hybrids the expected species (OH radicals) are formed. See [[doi>10.1063/1.3664746]].
==== 5th task : ionized water ====
This task is optional, and can be done near the end if time is available.
adapt the admm input for water to reflect the ionized state:
! Charge and multiplicity
LSD
CHARGE 1
MULTIPLICITY 2
because the system is electronically very difficult initially, we'll reduce the convergence threshold ''EPS_SCF 1.0E-5'' (twice).
Note that the ''WFN_RESTART_FILE_NAME'' must point to a GGA calculation of the same charge and multiplicity (do this calculations first).
Run single point energy calculations varying the fraction of exchange from 0.25 to 0.50, does the mulliken spin population reproduce Fig. 2 in [[doi>10.1021/ct1002225]] ?
For the fraction 0.5, run AIMD for about 50-100fs (if time permits), what happens with the water molecule on which the spin was localized ? Do you results agree with [[doi>10.1063/1.3664746]] ?
