[DFTB-Plus-User] basis develop

[Bálint Aradi]

Dear Zhu Xi,

> how to develop atomic basis by user-self?  Thanks!

At the moment we do not have public tools to create new basis sets. The
reason for that is, that in contrast to pseudo potentials, creating
parametrization (especially repulsive potentials) for DFTB+ is a rather
cumbersome process needing a lot experience. We are in the process of
developing a "semi-automatic" parametrization tool, but this is far from
being mature enough for production or public release.

  Best regards

   Bálint
