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).
