Keywords

Keyword descriptions

FERMI_AMALDI: logical = T

Lone keyword: T

Usage: FERMI_AMALDI

Add the Fermi-Amaldi contribution to the Hartree potential. It leads to a more stable convergence. [Edit on GitHub]

FILE_DENSITY: string = RHO_O.dat

Usage: DENSITY_FILE_NAME

Specifies the filename containing the target density in *.cube format. In the MGRID section it must be imposed NGRID 1, as it works with only one grid. The number of points in each direction, and the spacing must be previously defined choosing the plane waves cut-off in section MGRID keyword CUTOFF, and the cube dimension in section SUBSYS / CELL / keyword ABC [Edit on GitHub]

LAMBDA: real = 1.00000000E+001

Usage: DX

Lagrange multiplier defined in the constraint ZMP method. When starting, use small values when starting from scratch (around 5,10). Then gradually increase the values depending, restarting from the previous calculation with the smaller value. To choose the progressive values of LAMBDA look at the convergence of the eigenvalues.

ZMP_CONSTRAINT: enum = COULOMB

Usage: ZMP_CONSTRAINT

Valid values:

  • COULOMB Coulomb constraint, integral of [rho_0(r)-rho(r)]/|r-r’|

  • DIFF Simple constraint, [rho_0(r)-rho(r)]

  • NONE No constrain imposed

Specify which kind of constraint to solve the ZMP equation. The COULOMB default option is more stable. [Edit on GitHub]
