The f_opt keyword determines whether a "self-consistent sigma" calculation is performed to optimize the effective translational hard-sphere diameters of the different components (f_opt = .true., which is also the default) as presented in Ref. [1], or instead the simpler treatment of Lai et al.[2], which follows the monocomponent formalism, is used (f_opt = .false.). For the effective rotational hard-sphere diameters, see f_opt_rot.
