shLDA(shGGA)-1/2 program for VASP [Scan outer cutoff radius while fixing inner cutoff radius]
 Element:    Strip - e  Power index
 Fix inner cutoff radius to be  bohr
 Scan outer cutoff radius from bohr   to  bohr
 XC
 Upload POTCAR file and start the run:

 

 *You can upload a composite POTCAR file including several elements (e.g., Ti and O), but the program will only correct the specified element
