I have a silly question about Hydrogen POTCAR, theres 4-types of input : H, H0.5, H0.75, H1.25 and H1.25
I'm still quite not too understand the different valence in hydrogen POTCAR, especially the non-integer part.

Is it possible theres a half-electron in hydrogen (for H0.5 input) or other non-integer valence? or there's any explanation about this one?

Thanks, ^_^

the H-potentials with a non-integer number of valence electrons were ONLY
generated for the purpose to passivate dangling bonds on certain semiconductor surfaces.

Thank you very much, ^_^

Pursing this thread, how should one decide on the atomX-H bond lengths for H atoms with different no. of valence electrons (non-integer and integer values) when passivating dangling bonds of bottom layer X atoms? That is, should the distance be adjusted (increased/decreased) when going from H with 1 e to H with 1.25 e? Can someone please comment on it.
Thanks.
