[DFTB-Plus-User] heteroatomic skf files

Dear All,

I noticed when reading the notes for some of the heteroatomic skf files in
mio-1-1 (e.g., C-N.skf and N-C.skf) that it appears that different
confining potentials were used for the basis functions and densities in
each case. It could be that different basis functions were used altogether
to construct each file. The result is that there is a difference in each
file for the Hsp0 and Ssp0 matrix elements. Why is that the case, and why
weren¹t identical parameters used when computing each file?

Thanks,

Nir
