Keywords
Keyword descriptions
- AVERAGE_DEGENERATE_LEVELS
Type: logical
Default: T
Aliases: ADL
Lone keyword: T
Usage: AVERAGE_DEGENERATE_LEVELSDescription: If true, the correlation self-energy of degenerate levels is averaged.
- DO_AUX_BAS_GW
Type: logical
Default: F
Lone keyword: T
Usage: DO_AUX_BAS_GW TRUEDescription: If true, use a different basis for the periodic correction. This can be necessary in case a diffused basis is used for GW to converge the HOMO-LUMO gap. In this case, numerical problems may occur due to diffuse functions in the basis. This keyword only works if AUX_GW
is specified in the kind section for every atom kind.
- EPS_EIGENVAL
Type: real
Default: 2.00000000E-004
Usage: EPS_EIGENVAL 1.0E-5Description: Threshold for considering levels as degenerate. Unit: Hartree.
- EPS_KPOINT
Type: real
Default: 1.00000000E-005
Usage: EPS_KPOINT 1.0E-4Description: If the absolute value of a k-point is below EPS_KPOINT, this kpoint is neglected since the Gamma point is not included in the periodic correction.
- EXTRAPOLATE_KPOINTS
Type: logical
Default: T
Aliases: EXTRAPOLATE
Lone keyword: T
Usage: EXTRAPOLATE_KPOINTS FALSEDescription: If true, extrapolates the k-point mesh. Only working if k-point mesh numbers are divisible by 4, e.g. 8x8x8 or 12x12x12 is recommended.
- FRACTION_AUX_MOS
Type: real
Default: 5.00000000E-001
Usage: FRACTION_AUX_MOS 0.6Description: Fraction how many MOs are used in the auxiliary basis.
- KPOINTS
Type: integer[3]
Default: 16 16 16
Repeatable: yes
Usage: KPOINTS nx ny nzDescription: Specify number of k-points for a single k-point grid. Internally, a Monkhorst-Pack grid is used. Typically, even numbers are chosen such that the Gamma point is excluded from the k-point mesh.
- MO_COEFF_GAMMA
Type: logical
Default: T
Lone keyword: T
Usage: MO_COEFF_GAMMADescription: If true, only the MO coefficients at the Gamma point are used for the periodic correction. Otherwise, the MO coeffs are computed at every k-point which is much more expensive. It should be okay to use the Gamma MO coefficients.
- NUM_KP_GRIDS
Type: integer
Default: 1
Usage: NUM_KP_GRIDS 5Description: Number of k-point grids around the Gamma point with different resolution. E.g. for KPOINTS 4 4 4 and NUM_KP_GRIDS 3, there will be a 3x3x3 Monkhorst-Pack (MP) k-point grid for the whole Brillouin zone (excluding Gamma), another 3x3x3 MP grid with smaller spacing around Gamma (again excluding Gamma) and a very fine 4x4x4 MP grid around Gamma.
- NUM_OMEGA_POINTS
Type: integer
Default: 300
Usage: NUM_OMEGA_POINTS 200Description: Number of Clenshaw-Curtis integration points for the periodic correction in cubic- scaling GW. This variable is a dummy variable for canonical N^4 GW calculations.
