tcp_rcut variable


NAME

  tcp_rcut -truncated Coulomb potential cutoff radius

DESCRIPTION

The tcp_rcut variable enters the expression of the truncated Coulomb potential used to compute the electrostatic energy when tcp is set to ON. The truncated Coulomb potential has the form

v(r) = ( 1 / r ) * 0.5 * erfc( (r - tcp_rcut) / tcp_sigma )
The variable tcp_rcut limits the range of the Coulomb potential. The variable  tcp_sigma determines the width of the truncation region.

The recommended value of tcp_rcut is 1/2 of the smallest of the cell dimensions.

DEFAULT VALUE
