Description
Summary:The electronic structure of the perovskite LaCoO3 at room temperature structure （293 K） was calculated by using PBE, PBE＋U and HSE. Different spin configurations have been considered. Our calculations showed that the choice of the Hubbard U parameter in DFT＋U and mixing factor α in HSE significantly influenced the band gap as well as relative energies. For the spin exited states, the optimal value for U and α were 3.0 eV and 0.05, respectively. Our calculation also emphasized that when U〉5.0 eV, PBE＋U would lead to unreasonable electronic structure and energy order.
