[SIESTA-L] WARNING: High Pressure calculation!

Dear Siesta users, recently Andrei Postnikov wrote a small tutorial on Siesta http://www.home.uni-osnabrueck.de/apostnik/Lectures/SIESTA-tuto.pdf He wrote: "one cannot a priori expect equally good performance of basis over a large range of bond lengths and, say, pressures: as the pressure is vary

This "basis set completeness" problem is the basis set superposition error (BSSE), which has been thoroughly studied in molecular calculations. All methods based on atom centred basis sets suffer from it. It basically leads to an artificial attractive force between atoms, because in a more compa

Dear all, I am trying to compile parallel SIESTA 2, this is proving somewhat difficult. I am getting an error message that I don’t understand, see below for my arch.make and the error msg. Any help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Paul. My arch.make

Hi,everyone I have read the siesta-2.0.2 manual, and I wonder the ProjectedDensityOfStates. The manual said that The block must be a single line with the energies of the range for PDOS projection, (relative to the program's zero, i.e. the same as the eigenvalues printed by the program), the peak
