Hello everyone, I have a small question:
When I test my oxygen pseudo from the siesta webpage, everything is great untill I add configurations to my test file (ae and pt configurations) that include _extra_ electrons. That is, when I fill the 2p orbital I get cross excitation energies which are very poor. Should the PSP be expected to produce good excitation energies in these conditions? (I thought so since these are likely where it will be used). pg Oxygen tm2 1.70 n=O c=car 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 4 2 0 2.00 0.00 2 1 4.00 0.00 3 2 0.00 0.00 4 3 0.00 0.00 1.43 1.43 1.43 1.43 ae/pt Oxygen 2s2 2p5 n=O c=car 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 4 2 0 2.00 0.00 2 1 5.00 0.00 3 2 0.00 0.00 4 3 0.00 0.00 ae/pt Oxygen 2s2 2p6 n=O c=car 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 4 2 0 2.00 0.00 2 1 6.00 0.00 3 2 0.00 0.00 4 3 0.00 0.00 ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen GS-2s2 2p4 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s1 2p5 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s0 2p6 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s2 2p5 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s2 2p6 &v&d &d total energy differences in series &d 1 2 3 4 5 &d 1 0.0000 &d 2 1.0707 0.0000 &d 3 2.1457 1.0751 0.0000 --------->&d 4 65.5077 64.4371 63.3620 0.0000 --------->&d 5 39.7687 38.6980 37.6230 -25.7391 0.0000 *----- End of series ----* spdfg &d&v ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen GS-2s2 2p4 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s1 2p5 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s0 2p6 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s2 2p5 &v&d ATM3 19-JUL-10 Oxygen 2s2 2p6 &v&d &d total energy differences in series &d 1 2 3 4 5 &d 1 0.0000 &d 2 1.0664 0.0000 &d 3 2.1340 1.0675 0.0000 --------->&d 4 -2.5258 -3.5923 -4.6598 0.0000 --------->&d 5 -14.9225 -15.9890 -17.0565 -12.3967 0.0000 Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
