Variable: calculation
Type: CHARACTER
Default: ' '
Description:
Specify the KCW calculation to be done
Possible choices:

===END OF NAMELIST======================================================
========================================================================
NAMELIST: &WANNIER
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: seedname
Type: CHARACTER
Default: wann
Description: The seedname of the previous Wannier90 calculation for occupied states.
NOTA BENE: the code implicitely assumed that the seedname for empty
state is the same as that for occupied state with "_emp" appended.
Keep this in mind when set up the wannier90 inputs.
For example:
wann.win is the wannier90 input file for the occupied states.
wann_emp.win is the wannier90 input file for the empty states.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: num_wann_occ
Type: INTEGER
Default: 0
Description: The number of wannier function for the occupied manifold.
It has to coincide with the number of occupied KS orbitals.
The whole KS manifold has to be wannierised (no 'exclude_band'
option for occupied state, at the moment).
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: num_wann_emp
Type: INTEGER
Default: 0
Description: The number of wannier function for the empty manifold.
It has to coincide with the number of empty wannier function
from the previous wannier90 calculation
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: have_empty
Type: LOGICAL
Default: FALSE
Description: If true empty state are computed. Require a previous wannier90
calculation for the empty manifold. The code search for the
unitary matrices in the wannier90 file seedname_emp_u.mat
+--------------------------------------------------------------------

Type: LOGICAL
Default: FALSE
Description: Specify if a disentangle unitary matrix needs to be read. Requires
a consisten calcuation from the previous wannier90 run.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: check_ks
Type: LOGICAL
Default: FALSE
Description: Specify if a diagonalization of the KS matrix build using the wannier
function in input has to be performed. This is mainly for debugging purpose.

===END OF NAMELIST======================================================

NAMELIST: &SCREEN
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: niter
Type: INTEGER
Default: maxter=100
Description: Maximum number of iterations in a scf step. If you want
more than 100, edit variable "maxter" in PH/phcom.f90
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: nmix
Type: INTEGER
Default: 4
Description: Number of iterations used in potential mixing.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: tr2
Type: REAL
Default: 1e-14
Description: Threshold for self-consistency.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: i_orb
Type: INTEGER
Default: -1
Description: Perform the screening calculation for a particular orbital.
If i_orb = -1 (default) all the orbitals are computed.
Assumes values between 1 and the total number of wannier
functions.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: eps_inf
Type: REAL
Default: 1.d0
Description: The macroscopic dielectric constant. Needed for the Gygi-Baldereschi
scheme if "l_vcut" = .TRUE.
Typically from exp or from a ph.x calculation.
NOTA BENE: This would be equivalent to a Makov-Payne correction. It works well
for cubic systems. Less well for anisotropic systems.
ANISOTROPIC SYSTEMS: In this case a generalization of the GB scheme is implemented
based on Nano Lett.,9, 975 (2009). It requires the full dielectric tensor to be provided.
The code searches (in the working dir) for a file named "eps.dat" containing the macrospocic
dielectric tensor. If it does not find it, the value "eps_inf" provided in input will be
used (isotropic approximation). If not even "eps_inf" is provided in input no correction
is applied to the screened KC correction.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: check_spread
Type: LOGICAL
Default: .FALSE.
Description: If .TRUE. the spread (self-hartree) of the Wannier functions is
checked and used to decide whether two or more Wannier functions
can be considered "identical" or not. Two Wannier functions are
considered identical if their spread (self-hartree) differ by less
than 1e-4 Ry (Hard coded for now, see "spread_thr").

Description: If .true. the position of the Wannier function inside the cell is used
to set the proper distance and to have a smoother interpolation. Requires
seedname_centres.xyz to be printed by the previous Wannier90 run. If the
file is not found it is automatically switched to .FALSE. and only the
distance between the cells is used (see also Wannier90 documentation)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable: write_hr
Type: LOGICAL
Default: .TRUE.
Description: If .true. the KCW hamiltonain in the Wannier basis and in real spase H(R)_m_n
