Dear siesta developer: Please forgive me for a dumb question since I just started using siesta.
I have difficulty understanding how basis is defined in siesta. For example, in the manual, section 7.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- User.Basis (logical): If true, the basis, KB projector, and other information is read from files Atomlabel.ion, where Atomlabel is the atomic species label specified in block ChemicalSpeciesLabel. These files can be generated by a previous SIESTA run or (one by one) by the standalone program GEN-BASIS. No pseudopotential files are necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm confused by this since basis generation doesn't seem to have any info about pseudopotential. Could somebody help?
