<br>
If I understand it correctly I can use initial state core level shifts,<br>
as done in the pp.x example [1], to align the energy scales of two<br>
different calculations. I need that to calculate valence band hetero<br>
offsets between seminconductors.<br>
<br>
I am not entirely sure, though, how to generate a pseudo potential with<br>
an excited core electron. I tried to take one of the PS library UPF<br>
files (Ga.pbe-dn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.<wbr>UPF), extract the ld1.x input and<br>
modify the occupancy of the 1S and 4P state like this:<br>
<br>
------------------------------<wbr>----------------<br>
&input<br>
...<br>
config='1s1 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4p2 3d10',<br>
...<br>
/<br>
&inputp<br>
...<br>
/<br>
6<br>
4S 1 0 2.00 0.00 1.30 1.90 0.0<br>
4S 1 0 0.00 6.00 1.30 1.90 0.0<br>
4P 2 1 2.00 0.00 2.00 2.20 0.0<br>
4P 2 1 0.00 6.00 2.00 2.20 0.0<br>
3D 3 2 10.00 0.00 1.30 1.90 0.0<br>
3D 3 2 0.00 0.05 1.30 1.90 0.0<br>
------------------------------<wbr>----------------<br>
<br>
Is that the right way to do it? Can I somewhere find the ld1.x input<br>
files for the Rh.pbe-rrkjus_lb.UPF and Rhs.pbe-rrkjus_lb.UPF PPs used in<br>
the mentioned example?<br>
<br>
Best regards and thank you,<br>
