dft_half_parameters

[Dipankar Saha]

Hi,
Even if I don't enable DFT-1/2, I find "dft_half_parameters=Automatic" in the script !!
Is it okay?

Please elaborate - it should normally not appear if it is not enabled.

Right, now I understand. Yes, if you choose "Show defaults" it should be in the basis set definition in all cases. The actual use of DFT-1/2 is governed by the Exchange-Correlation functional, which would be e.g. "GGAHalf.PBE" if DFT-1/2 is used.

I know this is can be a little confusing, but this way of doing it allowed us to provide good element-specific defaults.

Okay... Thank you!
