Thanks for your explaination in deatil!

Best wishes!

MeshCutoff controls the number of points in 3D grid to represent, say, the 
charge density of your system.
The bigger the MeshCutoff the more points you have and calculation is closer to 
"converged".

EnergyShift controls the localisation of your basis functions. In Siesta basis 
functions are strictly zero beyond some radius.
Since we confine wavefunction within this radius, we make some small energy 
shift upwards (remember, that according to 
variational principle the true wavefuction has lowest energy). So the 
EnergyShift parameter is just the way to control 
confinement radius.

Hi,
Can anyone explain me PAO.EnergyShift and MeshCutoff in detail? I have turned 
to many stuffs.But now I yet can not understand it clearly!
 
THANKS IN ADVANCE !
