Description: {{TAG|LMAXFOCKAE}} sets the maximum angular momentum quantum number ''l'' for the "accurate" augmentation of charge densities in Hartree-Fock type routines.
----
Usually VASP restores only the ''moments'' of the all-electron charge density on the plane wave grid (see {{TAG|LMAXFOCK}}) up to a certain ''l'' quantum number. It is, however, also possible to restore the ''shape'' of the charge density accurately on the plane wave grid, using the flag {{TAG|LMAXFOCKAE}}.
 
This flag usually hardly changes the total energy or one-electron states, since the one-center-terms are calculated exactly for most Hamiltonians (the one-center terms are defined as the difference between the pseudized one-center terms and the all-electron one-center terms). However for the following type of Hamiltonians, one-center terms are currently not implemented, or only approximately implemented:
 
*Thomas-Fermi type screening ({{TAG|LTHOMAS}}=.TRUE.)
*[[GW|GW type calculations]]
 
In these cases, it is recommended to set {{TAG|LMAXFOCKAE}} to twice the maximum ''l'' quantum number found in the {{FILE|POTCAR}} file.
