dear siesta user,
It has been mentioned at several places that the large overlap between core and 
valence orbitals can be corrected by 
a) semi core states
b) non linear core corrections
Then while generating pseudo for a transition element (gadolinium), if semi 
core states have been included, then is it not beneficial to use core 
corrections?
Because the pseudo appears to be unaffected by use of core corrections. Should 
both semi core states and core corrections be used simultaneously????
