Dear users and developers,
The manual says to run calculation with more than 1 element, the SK file
of both order (e.g. Zn-O and O-Zn) are needed, but from the format of SK
files, I don't see why they should be different from each other. I
checked Zn-O and O-Zn pair from znorg set, and find the matrix part is
different, which I don't understand. I have also checked H-F and F-H
pair from 3ob set, they appears to be the same file.
I have also tried to rename and replace one of the file, to make both
file the same, when doing so with ZnO pair, it messed up the band
structure. (both two Zn-O.skf and two O-Zn.skf situations will make the
band structure to go wrong).
Does anyone know the reason for the two files to be different?
Sincerely,
Linwei
