Recap on Basis Sets. Pablo Ordejon ICMAB-CSIC. Basis Sets in SIESTA. Generated from the solution of the FREE ATOM (with the pseudopotential) Finite range: (r) = 0 for rr c (boundary condition) Energy shift by confinement: shorter r c means higher energy E.

Recap on Basis Sets Pablo Ordejon ICMAB-CSIC
Basis Sets in SIESTA • Generated from the solution of the FREE ATOM (with the pseudopotential) • Finite range: (r) = 0 for rrc (boundary condition) • Energy shift by confinement: shorter rc means higher energy E
