CH_LSPEC = [logical]
Default: CH_LSPEC = .FALSE. 

Description: This flag controls whether the imaginary part of the dielectric function for a selected core electron is calculated and written to the OUTCAR file or not.


How to XAS spectra from core-hole calculations is explained here: SCH calculations.

This feature is only available from VASP version 6.0 or higher.


Warning: For XAS calculations it is strongly recommended to use the available GW PAW potentials for the POTCAR files, since many standard potentials don't have projectors with quantum numbers 2 or larger and the GW potentials are more exact for excited states than the standard potentials.
