An important test case of the pseudopotential software which we shall
develop is the case of an isolated atom of Ge. The valence electrons
of Ge have the configuration 4s
4p
. The 4p
means that the
three
states share two electrons equally. This means that the
fillings vector
should be f=[2;2/3;2/3;2/3]. Our current
software, however, assumes constant fillings, f=[2;2;2;...].
We must modify the current DFT software to include the appropriate
general expressions.
