NGXF = [integer]
Default: NGXF = set in accordance with PREC, NGX, ENCUT and ENAUG 

Description: NGXF sets the number of grid points in the "fine" FFT grid along the first lattice vector.


On this "fine" FFT mesh the localized augmentation charges are represented if ultrasoft pseudopotentials (USPPs) or the PAW method are used. In case USPPs are used, the local potentials (exchange-correlation, Hartree-potential and ionic potentials) are also calculated on this "fine" FFT-mesh.

By default NGXF is set in accordance with the requested "precision" mode PREC, NGX, and the plane wave kinetic energy cutoffs ENCUT and ENAUG:

PREC NGX NGXF
Normal 3/2× NGX
Single (VASP.5) 3/2× NGX
Single (VASP.6) NGX
SingleN (VASP.6) 3/2× NGX
Accurate NGX
Low 3/2×
Medium 3/2×
High 16/3×

where

with =ENCUT and =ENAUG.

Alternatively, NGXF can be set to a specific value in the INCAR file.
