Keyword descriptions

FERMI_AMALDI

Type: logical
Default: T
Lone keyword: T
Usage: FERMI_AMALDI

Description: Add the Fermi-Amaldi contribution to the Hartree potential. It leads to a more stable convergence.

FILE_DENSITY

Type: string[ ]
Default: RHO_O.dat
Usage: FILE_DENSITY

Description: 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

LAMBDA

Type: real
Default: 1.00000000E+001
Usage: LAMBDA

Description: 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

Type: enum
Default: COULOMB
Usage: ZMP_CONSTRAINT

Description: Specify which kind of constraint to solve the ZMP equation. The COULOMB default option is more stable.

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
