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

Description: LSCRPA selects the spectral-cRPA method.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.6.0

In constrained random-phase approximation (cRPA) calculations, the target polarizability [math]\displaystyle{ \tilde\chi }[/math] is computed from the eigenspectrum of the target-space projectors as follows

[math]\displaystyle{ \tilde \chi^\sigma_{{\bf G,G}'}({\bf q},i\omega)\approx \frac 1{N_k}\sum_{nn'{\bf k}} \frac{ f_{n\bf k}-f_{n'\bf k-q} }{ \epsilon_{n{\bf k}} - \epsilon_{n'\bf k-q} - i \omega } \theta_{n\bf k }^{\sigma} \theta_{n'\bf k-p }^{\sigma'} \langle u_{n {\bf k }}^{\sigma } |e^{-i \bf (G+q) r}| u_{n'{\bf k-q}}^{ \sigma' } \rangle \langle u_{n' {\bf k-q}}^{\sigma' } |e^{-i \bf (G'-q)r'} | u_{n'{\bf k }}^{ \sigma } \rangle }[/math]

Here [math]\displaystyle{ \theta_{n{\bf k}}^\sigma }[/math] are the eigenvalues of the correlated projectors

[math]\displaystyle{ P_{mn}^{\sigma({\bf k})} = \sum_{i\in \cal T} T_{i m}^{*\sigma({\bf k})} T_{i n}^{\sigma({\bf k})} }[/math]

ordered according to their leverage scores. The s-cRPA method results in larger effective interactions compared to w-cRPA or the projector-cRPA method and conserves the number of electrons.[1]
