Switch on Mulliken charges in the input. If you want more physically meaningful charges, look at Bader AIM charges, but you need a separate program for that.

Hi, Bing

If I use NetCharge = 2 in my input file, I just set the net charge of the whole
system, how can I know it is the charge carried by Ca ion.

What’s more, is there any electronic structure of certain element for the
NetCharge = 2?

Best

Fei

    Hi, Fei
    You can use NetCharge = 2.
    But it's not advised to do charged systems other than
    atoms and molecules in some type of cells since the
    Madelugn correction cannot be applied to make your
    system converge.

        Hi, Bing

        Thank you for your reply. But in my case, Actually, I want to simulate
        the interaction of Ca^2+ ion with the surface atoms of other substance
        within Siesta. I am just wondering the effects of the electronic
        structure of the ion. How to got this goal with Siesta?____

        Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.____

            Hi, Fei

            It's not necessary to generate psp of Ca2+. A good psp should
              have the feature of transferability, that means it can “adapt to"
              any chemical environment, e.g., surface, oxide, etc).

            best regards,
            Bing

                I want to generate a pseudopotential of ionic configuration of
                Calcium (Ca^2+ ). I have not done this before, and fail to test
                with Siesta. So any comment or suggestion is appreciated. I
                attach the inp file for ATOM codes.____
