[gpaw-users] ghost atoms and LCAO

Hi Glen,

I ran into the same problem last week. According to the release notes for gpaw 0.11.0:

  *   When searching for basis sets, the setup name if any is now prepended automatically to the basis name. Thus if setups='setupname' and basis='basisname', GPAW will search for symbol.setupname.basisname.basis.

You can work around it by copying the Si.dzp.basis set to to the name Si.ghost.dzp.basis. Or use gpaw 0.10.

Best regards,
Anders

Dear users,
I'm getting a rather strange error with trying to specify ghost atoms with LCAO, namely I keep getting:

 RuntimeError: Could not find required basis set file "Si.ghost.dzp.basis".

I'm following the directions on https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/gpaw/documentation/lcao/lcao.html, and my calculator object looks like:

calc = GPAW(setups={'Si':  'ghost'}, mode='lcao', basis='dzp', kpts=(1,1,1), xc='PBE', txt='output.txt',
            mixer=mix, occupations=occ, convergence=conv, maxiter=500
           )

Am I missing something?  Did the method to specify ghost atoms change and the website isn't up to date?

Any insight would be useful!

Glen
