Number of shells of orbitals with different angular momentum for the corresponding
chemical species

Default:PAO.BasisType Split
(see the lecture on the SplitNorm)
Kind of basis set generation procedure.

Schemes to generate multiple- basis setsUse pseudopotential eigenfunctions with increasing number of nodes
T. Ozaki et al., Phys. Rev. B 69, 195113 (2004)http://www.openmx-square.org/
AdvantagesOrthogonalAsymptotically complete
DisadvantagesExcited states of the pseudopotentials, usually unboundEfficient depends on localization radii
Availables in Siesta:PAO.BasisType Nodes

The PAO.Basis blockFull control on the definition of the basis set
Only used for the generation of the basis set
Default value 0.0 electrons
![Page 9: Javier Junquera](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681610c550346895dd05ebd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Solving the Schrödinger equation for an ion for the generation of the basis set
Extra charge QOrbitals in anions tend to be more delocalized Orbitals in cations tend to be more localized(For instance, this parameter might be important in some oxides)

The PAO.Basis blockFull control on the definition of the basis set
Default value: 0.0 Ry Default value: 0.0 BohrIf negative, computed as the given fraction of the PAO cutoff radius.
This flag determines whether the soft-confinement potential is used

Soft-confinement potential
Advantages: orbital continuous with all the derivatives continuousdiverges at rc (orbital exactly vanishes there)
zero at the core region
Available in SIESTA
J. Junquera et al., Phys. Rev. B 64, 235111 (2001)
Prefactor of the soft-confinement potential
Inner radius where the shoft-confinement potential starts off

The PAO.Basis blockFull control on the definition of the basis set
As many columns as zetas in the shell
Cutoff radius of ech zeta for a given shell ( in Bohr)
![Page 13: Javier Junquera](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681610c550346895dd05ebd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The numerical atomic orbitals are strictly localized: they are zero beyond a given cutoff radius
This is the cutoff that might be explicitly included in the PAO.Basis block

If some of these are zero, then the PAO.EnergyShift or PAO.SplitNorm will be used to determine the
cutoff For the secon-zeta onwards, if some of these are negative, then the actual rc used will be the given
fraction of the first

A shell of polarization functions (with angular momentum l+1) will be constructed from the first-zeta of angular mometum l
