MALA for multiple elements #606
Conversation
I just realized that the TEM will work by default, since there is only one pseudopotential path anyway. The atomic density/Gaussian equation of course has to still be tackled. |
I confirmed basic functionality for the two element case. The code changes so far have been minimal, but the accuracy is not yet great. That could just be because I am using a minimal example (https://github.com/mala-project/test-data/tree/multielement, Barium Oxide unit cell), or because the bispectrum descriptors need tweaking. I will investigate this further and look into the three element case. |

While some work in that respect has already been performed at the Sandia National Labs, MALA does not have full multi-element capabilities yet. This PR aims to make multi-element systems fully available within MALA.
This includes:
While not the same issue in and of itself, it would be prudent to also tackle core electrons/"isolated" electronic levels in the same PR. I.e., if one has a system with, e.g., electronic levels located at -14 to -12 eV (core electrons) and then the next level is at, e.g., -1 to 0 eV, than by default the LDOS contains a lot of zeros. This can be alleviated by
