[DFTB-Plus-User] Slater-Koster file for Si-B

[Gabriele Penazzi]

Dear Nadia,

I'm not really a parameterization expert, but here's my suggestions.
 
Despite being also a slater-koster tight binding model, the method used
in the paper you cite is very different from DFTB. Among the other I see
that this use orthogonal basis and introduce crystal field interactions,
which is not the case in DFTB. Moreover, this paper only deal with the
electronic part and not with the repulsive (you won't be able to relax
structures). In short, you're probably asking to combine very different
stuff. If you're not interested in the repulsive, or if you need crystal
field corrections, or if you cannot/don't need to take advantage of the
available parameters you could also consider different tight binding
methods, like fully empirical.

I'm not aware of a Si-B parameterization, currently.

Best,
Gabriele
