LCHARG: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:10, 1 October 2025

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

Description: Determines whether the charge density is written.

By default for LCHARG = T 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
