Dear Rajesh, I quote from (the source of) the Siesta manual:
\item The default perturbative scheme for polarization orbitals can fail in very specific cases. When the polarization orbital has to have a node due to the presence of a lower-lying orbital with the same $l$, the program can (if enabled by the \fdf{PAO!Polarization!NonPerturbative.Fallback} option) automatically switch to using a non-perturbative scheme. In other cases, include the \textit{Chemical\_label} in the following block to request a non-perturbative scheme: \begin{fdfexample} %block PAO.PolarizationScheme Mg non-perturbative %endblock PAO.PolarizationScheme \end{fdfexample} Please see the relevant section for a fuller explanation. ----- El 7 de Septiembre de 2022, a las 15:50, Rajesh Dutta <rajesh.du...@frm2.tum.de> escribió: | Dear Fanmiao, | Many thanks for the information, I exactly needed thatinfo. | BTW, I was playing with different PP format (.psf and .psml) to have a test on | result.
