Hii,

Can we use two BASIS SETS files (BASIS_MOLOPT and GTH_BASIS_SETS) and one POTENTIAL (GTH_POTENTIAL) file for my system?

Since my system contains Ar, C, O atoms. In BASIS_MOLOPT I am getting TZV2P-MOLOPT-GTH basis sets for C and O. But for Ar i want to use the TZVP-GTH basis set, which is available in GTH_BASIS_SETS. 

Please help!!

Dear Sumit
We can use different basis sets for all atoms.

regards

Tahere

Thanks for the reply!!!

Yes we can use it. But how to insert two basis set files in the input file? Here I am attaching my input file. In this file I am using the BASIS_MOLOPT basis set for carbon and oxygen. Now I also incorporate GTH_BASIS_SETS for argon atoms. Can we insert both the basis set files?  If yes, can you please tell me how? 



Thanks,
sumit

There are two ways:
the first: make one basis set file entitled" BASISSET" which contains your basis sets data and in your input file in the DFT section, rename BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME ./BASIS_MOLOPT to BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME ./BASISSET
or
the second: in your input file:
&DFT
BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME BASIS_MOLOPT
BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME GTH-BASIS-SETS
POTENTIAL_FILE_NAME GTH_POTENTIAL
