Abstract
In this work we have implemented hybrid functionals into the SIESTA code, with the main goal to implement a fast general solver within the SIESTA framework that performs efficiently and scales linearly with increasing system size. We describe the implementation of the solver and apply it to study the properties of five insulating materials; NaCl, CaF2, CeO2, TiO2 and HfO2. We show that a systematic improvement in the basic description of the properties of these materials over standard Density Functional approaches can be obtained at a reasonable additional computational cost.Description
