Name

SCFBOOST — Additional cycles for final convergence of wavefunction.

Synopsis

 SCFBOOST=n
			

Description

When a wavefunction is nearly converged, the SCF may enter a boost mode to ultimately converge it. In boost mode, the change in energy is round-off dominated, but the density matrix may evolve significantly. By default, up to 3 SCF cycles are used in boost mode. Using this keyword, the number of boost cycles is set to n. SCFBOOST replaces the obsolete keyword BOOST in AMPAC 8.
