[CP2K-user] [CP2K:21026] Discrepancy in Basis Set File

[Krack Matthias]

Dear Kha

The official source for pseudopotentials and basis sets is the cp2k/data folder of the CP2K GitHub repository<https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k/tree/master/data>.

Best

Subject: [CP2K:21025] Discrepancy in Basis Set File

Dear CP2K User Community,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Kha, and I am new to using DFT calculations and CP2K for my research.While working on setting up a system, I noticed a discrepancy in the basis set definitions for hydrogen (H) when obtained from two different sources:

With that being said, I am reaching out to understand:
1.      Which source should I consider the "official" or most accurate for my DFT calculations?
2.      Are such discrepancies expected, and if so, how should they be interpreted?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
Kha
