! !ROUTINE: afindtstep
! !INTERFACE:
subroutine afindtstep
! !USES:
use modmain
use modtddft
use modmpi
! !DESCRIPTION:
!   Performs a time step of the macroscopic Maxwell equation and updates the
!   induced vector potential ${\bf A}(t)$. In practice, a more general damped
!   Proca equation is solved:
!   $$ a_0{\bf A}+a_1\dot{\bf A}+a_2\ddot{\bf A}=
!    \frac{4\pi c}{\Omega}{\bf J}, $$
!   where $\Omega$ is the unit cell volume, ${\bf J}$ is the total current
!   across the unit cell, and the parameters $a_i$, $i=0,1,2$ are stored in the
!   array {\tt afindpm}. This generalisation allows for both a mass and damping
!   term, however the default values of $a_0=a_1=0$ and $a_2=1$ recover the
!   physical Maxwell equation.

! !REVISION HISTORY:
!   Created January 2020 (P. Elliott)
!   Added mass and damping terms, December 2022 (JKD)
