Hi Ben!

Thank you for your fast reply.
I had tried your option a) through the highest occupied atomic orbital.
But I would like to try with the complet set of spin constant numbers. Let me check the others options that you mentioned.

Thanks again.
Regards

Dear dftb+ community,

I am trying to calculate a small gold cluster (Au3) with spin polarized by using full spin constants (as reported by Fihey 2015 paper).  However, I'm getting a error as

"-> Superfluous data found.
Path: dftbplusinput/Hamiltonian/DFTB/SpinConstants/Au"

for the spin constant values.

Below, I show my dftb_in.hsd input.
Anyone could help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Diego,

the error is due to giving shell resolved spin constants in a calculation that is not shell resolved. For Au, I would suggest enabling ShellResolvedScc = Yes (if the Slater-Koster parameters require this) as the d electrons have quite different response from the sp shells.
You could also either a) only suply the highest occupied atomic orbital spin constant, or b) enable shell resolved spin (but leave the SCC as atom resolved).

Regards

Ben
