Keyword descriptions
- SECTION_PARAMETERS: string = DEFAULT
Usage: H
The name of the kind described in this section. [Edit on GitHub]
- BASIS_SET: string
Keyword can be repeated.
Usage: BASIS_SET [type] [form] DZVP
References: VandeVondele2005, VandeVondele2007
Mentions: ⭐Preliminaries, ⭐Electronic band structure from GW, ⭐GW + Bethe-Salpeter equation
The primary Gaussian basis set (NONE implies no basis used, meaningful with GHOST). Defaults are set for TYPE {ORB} and FORM {GTO}. Possible values for TYPE are {ORB, AUX, MIN, RI_AUX, LRI, …}. Possible values for FORM are {GTO, STO}. Where STO results in a GTO expansion of a Slater type basis. If a value for FORM is given, also TYPE has to be set explicitly. [Edit on GitHub]

- MM_RADIUS: real = 0.00000000E+000 [angstrom]
Usage: MM_RADIUS {real}
Defines the radius of the electrostatic multipole of the atom in Fist. This radius applies to the charge, the dipole and the quadrupole. When zero, the atom is treated as a point multipole, otherwise it is treated as a Gaussian charge distribution with the given radius: p(x,y,z)Nexp(-(x2+y2+z2)/(2*MM_RADIUS2)), where N is a normalization constant. In the core-shell model, only the shell is treated as a Gaussian and the core is always a point charge. [Edit on GitHub]
