* How to specify the exchange-correlation functional in Quantum-ESPRESSO [#j35ada82]
In Quantum-ESPRESSO (QE), the exchange-correlation (XC) functional used is determined based on that specified in pseudopotential files. However, if you want to use the functional other than that, then use the key word input_dft. In case you want to use Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximation (PBE) functional (in may cases, this is the default choice), use the variable input_dft as
 &SYSTEM
 ...
 input_dft = 'pbe'
 ...
 /
and in the case of PBEsol
and in the case of PBEsol (PBE for solids)
 input_dft = 'pbesol'

NOTE that traditionally, the exchange-correlation functional used in the generation of the pseudopotentials used and that used in molecular or solid calculations, and you should be careful when you use different XC functionals. See [[Callsen and Hamada>https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.91.195103]] for the the exchange-correlation functional for the pseudopotentials in vdW-DF calculations, [[Yao and Kanai>https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4984939]] for that in SCAN meta-GGA calculations, and [[Gygi>https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.2c01191]] for the validity of the use of the GGA pseudopotentials in SCAN meta-GGA calculations.
