Hi dear users
is there anyone who knows about Teter pseudopotential?Sr has 38 electrons
and valence electrons Should be 4s2 4p6 5s2 4d0 in ground state but in this
pseudopotetial Zion=10 and the valence electrons are 4s2 4p6 5s0 4d0!
what's the meaning of it? can i use it for ground state?
Ok! this pseudopotential is used in abinit but i coulden't ask my question
of them yet.
thank's alot.
