Here is my pseudo. The s and p channels are from SIESTA database, the d and f channels I made smaller and added NLCC.

I did not optimize the basis, simply use DZP.
(Don't know why, but SIESTA does not complain that I have to provide the PAO.basis for the semicore orbitals)


PAO.BasisSize        DZP
PAO.EnergyShift      50 meV
PAO.SplitTailNorm       true
PAO.SoftDefault         true
PAO.OldStylePolOrbs false



Usually, I also provide
