You can, by setting input_dft, but it is not necessarily a good idea. You introduce an inconsistency for no specific gain. It is however done routinely, e.g. for hybrid functional or semi-local VdW corrections when pseudopotential with the corresponding functional are not available.

I agree, the charge density is the one of the total system, so that from "input_dft" it is not possible. However, I don't know if it's possible to use different PPs for different atoms.  a PBE(GGA) Pseudo for atom 1 and PZ(LDA) one for atom 2? I did test this before !

No, this would make no sense. The density functional is applied to the total charge density, no to the atoms.

Dear all,

I have a simple question about using "input_dft". Is it possible to use different input_dft for different types of atoms in a system? In this way, the system can be accurately described for some reasons.
