LSCK = [logical]
Default: LSCK = .FALSE. 

Description: LSCK=True switches on the use of the squeezed Coulomb kernel.


If LSCK is set to .TRUE., the squeezed Coulomb kernel is used instead of the cosine window [1]:

This kernel 'squeezes' the contributions from large wave vectors into the window given by ENCUTGWSOFT. Effectively, this extrapolates the random-phase-approximation–correlation energy to the ENCUTGW limit, assuming that the basis-set-incompleteness error falls off as ENCUTGW.
