[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13868] Re: DOS, GAPW, Iron ions using EMSL_BASIS_SET

[Ivan Gladich]

Dear Marcella

thank you for your email and for the paper that you pointed me out.
I looked in the Basi Set Exchange Library from EMSL and I think I have
found the basis set mentioned in that paper (and even more choices).
I will test some of them

Thank you again
Best

Ivan
