How to specify the B(5%HF)P86 functional


Clicked A Few Times
How do I invoke usage of the B(5%HF)P86 density functional, which was suggested by
Harris & Szilagyi, J.Comput.Chem. vol.35 (2014) pp.540-552?
The corresponding exchange functional is made up from 95% Becke88 and 5% Hartree-Fock,
whereas the correlation functional is the Perdew86.

thanks in advance!

That input for that functional would probably look like

xc becke88 0.95 hfexch 0.05 perdew86 1.0

Arbitrary combinations of all supported functionals can be input in a similar manner. Check out the DFT documentation page for more examples.

Best,
