Default 0.0
The imaginary part of the frequency, effectively a Lorentzian broadening
for peaks in the spectrum. It can help convergence of the SCF cycle for the
Sternheimer equation when on a resonance, and it can be used as a positive
infinitesimal to get the imaginary parts of response functions at poles.
In units of energy. Cannot be negative.
