Nidhi, If you need 4f in the valence as semicore, then your line should have something like n=4 3 2 4f, double-zeta. Of course the number of zetas can vary, as well as the number of polarization functions. What is the electronic configuration of your Sm pseudo? Marcos Vous avez écrit / You

Hi to all, Dear users, as we know the valence configuration of Sm is 4f6,6s2. In order to combine it with chalcogenides it is necessary to make the net ionic charge of Sm to 2, means we have to consider the 4f6 in the core. When we define the PAO basis set as %block PAO.Basis Sm 2

You mix up several things; I doubt it will help to resolve your problems but let us address them one by one. Sm valence configuration. 4f states are quite localized and probably (in reality, not in DFT the calculation) are not any near to the band gap. If you include them in valence states and in
