LRPAFORCE
LRPAFORCE = .TRUE. | .FALSE.
Default: LRPAFORCE = .FALSE.
Description: LRPAFORCE=.TRUE. calculates forces in the random-phase approximation (RPA).
Available as of VASP.6.1.
This tag can be optionally set in low-scaling RPA calculations or GW calculations. It allows computing the RPA forces[1] on each ion. For instance,
ALGO = RPAR ; LRPAFORCE = .TRUE.
computes the RPA total energy with corresponding forces, while
ALGO = G0W0R ; LRPAFORCE = .TRUE.
determines in addition the quasiparticle energies within the GW approximation.
The LRPAFORCE tag can be used in combination with the standard relaxation options IBRION and NSW.

| Warning: Only ISIF=0 is supported. |
| Warning: RPA forces for metals are currently not supported. |
