KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE = .True. | .False.
Default: KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE = .False.
Description: KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE truncates the coulomb kernel to remove electrostatic interactions along non-periodic dimensions
Setting KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE = T switches on coulomb kernel truncation methods. These methods removes interactions with periodic replicas in non-periodic directions, i.e. along the surface normal for 2D materials and along all directions for 0D systems such as atoms and molecules.
Mind: This tag acts as a "super-tag", i.e. unless this tag is switched on further options in KERNEL_TRUNCATION will be ignored. |
Default settings
The following default settings are assumed when setting KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE = T,
KERNEL_TRUNCATION { LTRUNCATE = T IDIMENSIONALITY = 0 LCOARSEN = T }
which translates to 0D coulomb truncation which is suitable for a molecule using the coarsen before pad strategy[1]. Detailed information is available on the respective pages of the INCAR tags.
