To perform a DFT + U calculation using VASP you just have to add the following flags to your INCAR file:
GGA = PW | PB | LM | 91 | PE | RP | PS | AM (Depending on the functional you want to use)[1]
LDAU = .TRUE.
LDAUL = "value" → It specifies the l-quantum number for which the on-site interaction is added.
LDAUU = 5.5 0.0
LDAUJ = 1.0 0.0
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- In VASP there are several DFT + U approaches that can be used. You can specify the one you want by setting the corresponding values in the flag LDAUTYPE = "value". The default approach in VASP is the one introduced by Dudarev et al. (LDAUTYPE = 2). For further details see VASP manual.[2]
- (one number for each species!)
- LASPH = .TRUE.
