In Siesta you can have different species "names" with the same atomic number. This can be used to assign different basis orbitals, and in your case pseudopotentials, to atoms in different environments. You will have to generate appropriate pseudopotentials for your different pseudo-H atoms. Yo

Hi, You can follow the standard procedure of carrying out the ground-state calculation first, and then re-using the density-matrix to start a new calculation for the analysis you require. That will save you the work of re-converging the electronic structure. Please see the manual for the option
