Dear all:
I try to calculate the band gap of BaTe using hybrid potentials of B3PW91, B3LYP and PBEH in libxc. But I could not get the appropriate band gap of BaTe. The experimental gap of BaTe in B1 structure is 3.4 eV. The LDA band gap is 1.58 eV using LSDAPerdew-Wang potential. However, I get 1.05 eV (B3PW91), 1.3 eV (B3LYP), and 1.04 eV (PBEH).
Could you give me some advice?
