I'm investigating first row transition metal oxides on diamond surface, optimizing structures and calculating electronic properties (e.g. electron affinity). I was advised that since I'm working with transition metals, I should be using hybrid functionals and that HSE06 should give good results.

Does anyone have input on whether this is correct, if so why, and/or somewhere I could read more about it?

Thank you in advance for any responses.
