Screened hybrid density functionals applied to solids
TL;DR: A detailed comparison of the performance of the HSE03 and PBE0 functionals for a set of archetypical solid state systems is presented, indicating that the hybrid functionals indeed often improve the description of these properties, but in several cases the results are not yet on par with standard gradient corrected functionals.
