Dear Dan, I have noticed similar problems.  Mulliken charges depend on the atomic basis set used.  In Siesta the cutoff radius (of H) seems to be the critical parameter.  I suggest that you check the dipol moment of an isolated water molecule (10 Angstrom box).  It should have the correct magnit

Hi Marco, within the Born-Oppenheimer (SIESTA) hydrogen and deuterium have the same pseudopotential. Isotope effects come from the change of mass affecting the zero point vibrational energy and the thermal occupation of vibrational modes. The most efficient (standard) way to study isotope effec

Hi Riya, It is good practice to check the magnitude of the BSSE for at least one or two configurations. The BESSE depends on your system, the basis set and the structure.  You should make shure that the BESSE counterpoise correction is smaller than your required accuracy, and if not, you should

Hi Igor, one obvious difference between your experimental and calculated densities is that the diffraction experiment averages over zero-point and thermal vibrations (what was the temperature ?). The DFT density was (presumably) calculated for the equilibrium structure, i.e., for atoms at rest.

Hi Jack, a simple way of getting a per atom value of the difference spin density is to look at the Mulliken population analysis in the (long) output (LongOutput .TRUE.). It gives orbital occupancies for spin up and spin down for each atom and also the value summed over all orbitals on that ato

Hi Onur, In order to optimize internal coordinates (the z-components of the third and fourth atom) you probably should set MD.NumCGsteps 100 (default is zero) and either you need to vary the unit cell constants a and c/a manually, or you have to set MD.VariableCell .True (default is false)

Dear Lily, the best approach is to check convergence of your property of interest with mesh-cutoff, which often is better (at smaller cutoff) than the convergence of total energy. The reason is systematic error cancellation. However, as "early warning indicator" I keep an eye on the line " Tot
