-One problem with standard DFT is that correlation effects can lead to errors in evaluating certain system properties, such as the band gap of semiconductors.

 A common approach to correct for electronic self-interaction is the //ad hoc// mixing of a fraction of the exact Hartree-Fock exchange. The goal of this exercise is to identify the needed amount of exact Hartree-Fock exchange (%hfx) to correctly reproduce the anatase TiO$_2$ experimental band gap (3.2 eV). To do so, you will need to run at least 4 single point calculations on bulk TiO$_2$ with varying amount of exact exchange.  A common approach to correct for electronic self-interaction is the //ad hoc// mixing of a fraction of the exact Hartree-Fock exchange.
