Problems connected to the PseudoDojo preudopotatntials #43

Description

@bosonie

As we decided to provide protocols in this package using PseudoDojo pseudos, I think it is worth to collect here the errors encountered by Siesta while running calculations with the aforementioned preudos. Two are the common errors (taken from the Siesta README_PSML file):

  • Sometimes it is not possible to execute successfully the default split-norm algorithm. Solution: use the option: PAO.TailSplitNorm T
  • The default perturbative scheme for polarization orbitals can fail in very specific cases. Solution: include the species label in the block to request a non-perturbative scheme:
    %block PAO.PolarizationScheme
    Mg non-perturbative
    %endblock PAO.PolarizationScheme

Fixes will become part of the atom_heuristics I guess, at least for the moment.

First set:

  • Ge of nc-fr-04_pbe_stringent_psml requires non-perturbative option
  • Mg of nc-fr-04_pbe_stringent_psml requires non-perturbative option
