Possible small error in the Wiki entry for ICHARG

#1 Post by MBaeker » Mon Mar 28, 2022 12:52 pm

The Wiki entry for ICHARG states
If ICHARG is set to 11 or 12, it is strongly recommended to set LMAXMIX to twice the maximum l-quantum number in the pseudopotentials. Thus for s and p elements LMAXMIX should be set to 2, for d elements LMAXMIX should be set to 2, and for f elements LMAXMIX should be set to 6.
I suspect that for d-elements the value of LMAXMIX should be 4, not 2?

Thank you very much for pointing out this typo! We appreciate this kind of report and continuously aim to improve our Wiki. I have updated the page of the ICHARG tag.
