Description: HFRCUT specifies the spherical cutoff radius for the potential kernel in hybrid functionals.


For systems with a finite band gap HFRCUT=-1 should be set to evaluate an appropriate spherical cutoff radius for the Coulomb kernel automatically.

At the limit of many k-points both methods (HFRCUT=-1 and HFRCUT=0) should yield identical results. It is usually expedient to first converge the energies with respect to the number of k-points and then select the method that converges more rapidly for the routine calculations.
