New atomic orbitals are available to download!

Our new atomic orbitals are hierarchically optimised for SG15 pseudopotential by using the 'PyTorch-Gradient' minimization methods and incorporating the gradients of reference wavefunctions. These orbitals are more accurate and suited to DFT+U calculations. For more details of the construction and testing of the orbitals, please refer to download page and Ref 1.
