VCA for elements with different valence electrons
« on: September 24, 2018, 07:29 »
hello,
               Is there any way virtual crystal approximation (VCA) be applied to elements with different valence electrons?

This feature is not available at the moment. It is also usually not a good idea of using VCA in this case.

Hi Petr,
What would you suggest should be used instead of VCA in this case?
