The Coulomb integrals are computed and written as a post-processing step using ALGO=2e4wa. The process differs for two types of integrals:

  • VRijkl (bare off-centre Coulomb integrals): Always written when requested.
  • URijkl: Only written if all WFULLxxxx.tmp files matching the selected k-point grid are present in the working directory.

The basis set for these calculations can be specified using the DMFT_BASIS tag.

Evaluating Coulomb integrals can be computationally intensive, especially when dealing with a large number of basis functions.

Tip: To improve performance, you can use a coarser sub-grid of the original k-point grid by enabling the LDOWNSAMPLE tag.
