How to construct peudopotential of fictitious atom Date: 2006/11/29 10:31 Name: Xinyuan Zhang   <xzhang@uh.edu> The research I am doing requires to use a fictitious hydrogen atom with 1.5 nuclear charge and 1.5 electrons. I checked the adpack1.8 manual, but I am not sure I can do that. Is there a way for me to construct the pseudopotential so I can run the simulation in OpenMX? Xinyuan

Re: How to construct peudopotential of fictitious atom ( No.1 ) Date: 2006/11/29 14:55 Name: T.Ozaki Hi, Thank you for your suggestion. The current version of OpenMX and ADPACK is not capable of treating the fictious atoms with a fractional nuclear charge. A couple of modifications are required to do that, while it is not difficult in principle. In the future release, the functionality will be considered.

I am also thinking whether it is possible to let the user to specify the occupation numbers in the next release. I think in that case the user can simulate the exciton problem. For example, the SiH4 has the occupations like 2 2 2 2 0 0.., but if we can specify the occupation numbers, we can use 2 2 2 1 1 0 0 ...to simulate an exciton. Thank you very much.

For excited states, you should probably try using Time-Dependent DFT. It is implemented in Octopus, ABINIT, CPMD and some other codes, but I doubt it can be easily implemented in usual order-N DFT schemes.
