Description: LSCDM switches on the selected columns of the density matrix (SCDM) method.
The selected columns of the density matrix (SCDM) method works by fitting a unitary matrix that transforms the basis from Bloch states obtained by VASP to a Wannier basis .
This is done using a one-shot method through a singular-value decomposition as proposed by A. Damle and L. Lin [1].
In order to obtain a good Wannierization, a certain level of freedom should be given to the localized orbitals to adequately accommodate the Bloch states. This is controlled by the cutoff function specified by the CUTOFF_TYPE tag and related parameters (CUTOFF_MU) and (CUTOFF_SIGMA).
