Re: [SIESTA-L] DZP basis and pseudopotential

2007-02-02 Thread A.S.
Hi Siesta users, I have recently found that the way the pseudopotential is generated by atm may limit the choice of NAO bases in Siesta. For instance, the pseudopotential for Boron generated using the input file given at the bottom of this message seems to be compatible with the SZ and DZ

[SIESTA-L] Bug in bands.F ?

2007-02-02 Thread Fabio Bernardini
Hello In version 2.0 it seems there is a bug in Bands.F file. When you run a spin polarized bandstructure the values for the fermi energy in the first line of .bands are wrong. I think that the problem is in bands.F 475 C Write Fermi energy 476 if(nspin .eq. 2) thenWRONG ?

[SIESTA-L] MD: failing diagonalization

2007-02-02 Thread Anders Odell
Dear Siesta users, I'm doing a molecular dynamics run on a H2 molecule, microcanonical ensemble. For some reason the calculation stops after some timesteps (usually a few hundred รก 0.5 fs) due to failed diagonalization: siesta: ==
