  We present the results of calculations on bulk transition metals Rh, Pd, and
Pt using the screened hybrid functional YS-PBE0 [F. Tran and P. Blaha, Phys.
Rev. B \textbf{83}, 235118 (2011)]. The results for the equilibrium geometry
are compared with those obtained from (semi)local functionals, namely, the
local density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation PBE of
Perdew \textit{et al}. [J. P. Perdew, K. Burke, and M. Ernzerhof, Phys. Rev.
Lett. \textbf{77}, 3865 (1996)]. It is shown that the screened hybrid
functional yields more accurate equilibrium geometry than PBE, but, overall, it
is not more accurate than LDA. However, in contradiction with experiment, we
find that the screened hybrid functional favors a ferromagnetic state as the
ground state for all three transition metals. Therefore, the use of hybrid
functionals for, e.g., the study of catalytically active systems with
correlated oxides on a metal support is questionable.
