Description: Specifies the non-periodic dimension when performing calculations with the Coulomb-kernel-truncation method for 2D materials.

When performing Coulomb-kernel truncation (KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE = T) with KERNEL_TRUNCATION/IDIMENSIONALITY = 2, KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE specifies which direction is non-periodic. If the surface normal points in the direction of the x-axis set KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE = 1, if it is along the y-axis set KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE = 2, and along the z-axis set KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE = 3.

Mind:

IF KERNEL_TRUNCATION/LTRUNCATE = F, all other KERNEL_TRUNCATION tags including KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE are ignored.

-The most common use case is to set {{TAG|KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE_NORMAL}} to the dimension along the surface normal.
-If the surface normal points in the direction of the x-axis {{TAG|KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE_NORMAL}} = 0, if it is along the y-axis, {{TAG|KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE_NORMAL}} = 1 and if it is along the z-axis, {{TAG|KERNEL_TRUNCATION/ISURFACE_NORMAL}} = 2
