Default: KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE_COULOMB_KERNEL = .False. 

Description: KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE_COULOMB_KERNEL truncates the coulomb kernel to remove electrostatic interactions along non-periodic dimensions


Setting KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE_COULOMB_KERNEL to .True. 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.

Default options

The following default settings are assumed when setting KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE_COULOMB_KERNEL to .True.,

  KERNEL_TRUNCATION {
        LTRUNCATE_COULOMB_KERNEL = T
        IDIMENIONALITY_CUTOFF    = 0
        LCOARSEN_BEFORE_PAD      = T
  }
