Dear Harshit Bharti,

Indeed this is the standard procedure, the method of Don Hamann (PRB from 1990's) for unbound states. Do you need the orbital wave function somewhere else than in the DFT Hamiltonian? There the discontinuity does not matter, because i) the d channel is usually the local one for Si and thus the wave function is not used and ii) in the Kleinman-Bylander operator (V_l - V_local) |phi_l> the Delta V_l = (V_l - V_local) vanishes, or goes to zero, at the core radius, thus making the operator approach zero, and the discontinuity in phi_l does not matter.

Dear all,

The pseudo wave function that I have produced of the 3d orbital in the above 
configuration has a sharp
spike in the plot.
My main objective is to remove this spike which I have been unable to do even 
upon varying the
parameters.

The input file is as follows:

&input
 
   iswitch=3,
   rlderiv=1.8,  
   rel=0,
   zed=14.0,
   config="[Ne] 3s2 3p2 3d0",
   dft='PBE',
/

&inputp

   lloc=2,
   pseudotype=1,
   file_pseudopw='Si.UPF',
   zval=4.0,
   tm=.true.,
  
 
/

3
3S 1 0 2.00 0.00 2.20 2.20
3P 2 1 2.00 0.00 2.20 2.20
3D 3 2 0.00 0.00 1.20 2.20

It would be a pleasure if anyone could look into this problem and give some 
suggestions.

Thanking You

Yours sincerely,
