molpolΒΆ

Tool to scale distributed polarisibilites to DFT polarisibilites The following table contains the defaults input options for the calculator, The default OPTIONAL means this option is switched off, if no input is given. REQUIRED arguments have to be specified, otherwise an error is thrown.
