LSCK = [logical]
Default: LSCK = .FALSE.  Up to vasp.6.2, the default was LSCK = .TRUE.


Description: LSCK=.True. switches on 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.
