For calculation of E(N-1) we need to set the following flags in the &SYSTEM namelist:
nspin=2 ! Note, now we have unpaired electrons: tot_charge=+1 ! charged system tot_magnetization=1 ! we need to set a total magnetisation
Also, the following option needs to be used for charged systems :
assume_isolated="mt"
Using ecutwfc=50 Ry and 35 au of cell size,
E_tot(N) = -193.48101821 Ry E_tot(N-1) = -192.89782124 Ry
giving
IP = E_tot(N-1) - E_tot(N)
= 0.58319697 Ry
= 7.934861 eV
now much closer to the experimental value of 8.0-8.3 eV.
Interestingly, one can run the same set of calculations also using different functionals, including GGAs (PBE), meta-GGAs (eg TPSS or SCAN), hybrids (PBE0), or HF itself.
In order to do this, you can force e.g. the functional from input, by using:
