Description: IPEAD specifies the order of the finite difference stencil used to compute the derivative of the cell-periodic part of the orbitals w.r.t. k, |∇kunk⟩ (LPEAD=.TRUE.), and the derivative of the polarization w.r.t. the orbitals, δP/δ⟨ψnk| for (LCALCEPS=.TRUE., or EFIELD_PEAD0).


A central finite differences formula or order IPEAD is used to compute the first-order derivative of the cell-periodic part of the orbitals w.r.t. k. The coefficients for the different orders can be found here.
