Summary of relevant INCAR tags

This section contains a summary of all the INCAR tags that are currently implemented for performing monopole, dipole and quadrupole corrections using VASP. Please see the relevant pages of the respective tags for more detailed information.

Dimensionality of the system Does the system have net charge? Does the system have a net dipole moment? Relevant INCAR tags for monopole/dipole corrections
Any No No None
3D Yes No NELECT, LMONO, EPSILON
3D No Yes DIPOL, IDIPOL, EPSILON
3D Yes Yes NELECT, DIPOL, IDIPOL, EPSILON
2D Yes No NELECT
