<div dir="ltr">You cannot have half an electron on a p orbital?<div><br></div><div>In your case of Cl1, you have one extra electron in the alpha spin channel, and by doing that, you break the symmetry of alpha and beta spin channels, i.e. you MAY end up with different occupations in the alpha and beta spin channels after the calculation. Of course, this also depends on your specific system, that a symmetry-broken solution is energetically more stable.</div><div><br></div><div>SL</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 February 2016 at 07:49, tao liu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:liut...@gmail.com" target="_blank">liut...@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear All,<br><br>I can understand the &BS setting for Cu1, but still confused on Cl and Cl1.<br><br> &KIND Cl<br> BASIS_SET DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH<br> POTENTIAL GTH-BLYP-q7<br> &BS<br> &ALPHA<br> NEL 2<br> L 1<br> N 3<br> &END<br> &BETA<br> NEL 2<br> L 1<br> N 3<br> &END<br> &END<br> &END<br> &KIND Cl1<br> ELEMENT Cl<br> BASIS_SET DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH<br> POTENTIAL GTH-BLYP-q7<br> &BS<br> &ALPHA<br> NEL 2<br> L 1<br> N 3<br> &END<br> &BETA<br> NEL 0<br> L 1<br> N 3<br> &END<br> &END<br> &END<br><br>As suggested by Marcella, <br>for 'Cl' in the input file, Alpha is (5+2)/2=3.5, and same for Beta, in the end 'Cl' should have 3s-2 3p-7<br>for 'Cl1' in the input file, Alpha is (5+2)/2=3.5, and (5+0)/2 =2.5 for Beta, in the end 'Cl1' should have 3s-2 3p-6<br> <br>Could anyone tell me if I understand correctly or not ?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Tao<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
