+- **Type**: Real
+- **Description**: The energy cutoff for EXX (Fock) exchange operator in plane wave basis calculations. Reducing `ecutexx` below `ecutrho` may significantly accelerate EXX computations. This speed improvement comes with a reduced numerical accuracy in the exchange energy calculation.
+- **Default**: same as *[ecutrho](#ecutrho)*

+- **Type**: String
+- **Description**: The type of threshold used to judge whether the outer loop has converged in the separate loop EXX calculation.
+  - energy: use the change of exact exchange energy to judge convergence.
+  - density: if the change of charge density difference between two successive outer loop iterations is seen as converged according to *[scf_thr](#scf_thr)*, then the outer loop is seen as converged.
