LCHARG = [logical]
Default: LCHARG = .True.

Description: Determines whether the charge density is written.

For LCHARG = T (default), the files CHGCAR and CHG are written. If LH5 = T , the charge density is instead written to vaspwave.h5.

Mind: For VASP version 6.0 to 6.4.2 the default for LCHARG = .NOT.LH5
