PCDAT

The PCDAT file contains the pair correlation function. For dynamic simulations (IBRION$\ge$0) an averaged pair correlation is written to the file (see also NBLOCK, KBLOCK, NPACO and APACO).

A sample output of the PCDAT file for a 64 atom cell of Si looks as follows:

   1  64   1   0  0.2002283E+02  0.2000000E+04
  CAR

Here is the description of each line:

• Line 1: 1 (fixed output), number of ions, 1 (fixed output), 0 (fixed output), unit cell volume divided by number of atoms, temperature.
• Line 2: CAR (fixed output).
• Line 3: Header of INCAR file (the tag SYSTEM).
• Line 4: 0, 0, 0 (all fixed output).
• Line 5: 1 (fixed output), KBLOCK$\times$NBLOCK.
• Line 6: NPACO, NPACO, NPACO.
• Line 7: NPACO.
• Line 8: 10^-10 (fixed output).
• Line 9: APACO$\times$10^-10/NPACO.
