Type integer
Default hartree+fxc
The terms to be considered in the variation of the
Hamiltonian. The external potential (V_ext) is always considered. The default is to include
also the exchange-correlation and Hartree terms, which fully
takes into account local fields.
Just hartree gives you the random-phase approximation (RPA).
If you want to choose the exchange-correlation kernel, use the variable
XCKernel. For kdotp and magnetic em_resp modes,
or if TheoryLevel = independent_particles,
the value V_ext_only is used and this variable is ignored.
Options:
-    V_ext_only: 
Neither Hartree nor XC potentials included.
 
-    hartree: 
The variation of the Hartree potential only.
 
-    fxc: 
The exchange-correlation kernel (the variation of the
 exchange-correlation potential) only.
