Re: [SIESTA-L] About PDOS for 2p orbitals

2006-12-05 Thread Oleksandr Voznyy
Perhaps a more physical way to look at things would be to use the maximally localized Wannier functions (which are quite similar but have a more molecular meaning). How exactly to do that? Or you mean exactly looking at LDOS of some energy region?

2006/12/4, Oleksandr Voznyy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I still haven't got any reasonable explanation from other people. The only suggestion I hear many times that hybridization concept is oversimplified and you need to think of molecular orbitals rather than simple hybridization of atomic orbitals.

Dear SIESTA users: I used dzp atomic basis,160 ry meshcutoff ,30 Bohr kgrid cutoff to calculate FePt system(see the pictures of my unit cell in attachment), however, it seems to take forever to converge with the SCF cycle. dDMax(around 1.0) stays far beyond tolerence (0.1), and if I

Hi Marcos, Thanks for your reply. I add the 4s into the valence as semicore--maybe this is not correct. however the lattice constant is 3.8358 with an error 1% comparing with the exp value, in fact, i am confused how to decide the valence electron configuration. Do you mind sending
