Description: Controls the treatment of the long-range part of the interatomic force constants during electron-phonon calculations.
| Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0 |
This tag controls the treatment of the long-range electrostatic contributions to the interatomic force constants (IFC) arising in polar dielectric materials.
IFC_LR = 1 has the same effect as LPHON_POLAR = True but is used in the context of electron-phonon interactions.
| Mind: In this case, the required Born effective charges and dielectric tensor are read from the phelel_params.hdf5 file. |
Modes
IFC_LR ≤ 0- No long-range correction scheme is applied to the IFC matrix. This is most likely very inaccurate for semiconductors and insulators with non-vanishing Born effective charge.
IFC_LR = 1- Dipole corrections are applied to the IFC matrix.
