Abstract
We adapt the DFT+ method in the gauge-including projector augmented-wave NMR chemical shift calculations within the plane wave pseudopotential implementation. The nonlocal Hubbard correction potential has been reexamined in order to comply with the gauge-including projector augmented-wave transformation under an external uniform magnetic field. The resulting expression is suitable for chemical shift calculations using both norm-conserving and ultrasoft pseudopotentials in the proector augmented-wave scheme. The implementation is applied to the solid-state NMR chemical shift calculations for transition-metal and rare-earth oxides, including , ZnO, , and . A comparison between the DFT and DFT+ NMR chemical shifts for the selected materials is presented.
