Import and use Basis Set from CP2K
To import a specific basis set from a file with basis sets in CP2K's native format, simply use:
$ verdi data gaussian.basisset import --sym He data/BASIS_MOLOPT
Info: 2 Gaussian Basis Sets found:
Nr. Sym Names Tags # Val. eā» Version
----- ----- ----------------------------------------- ------------------------- ----------- ---------
1 He SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q2, SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH SZV, MOLOPT, SR, GTH, q2 2 1
2 He DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q2, DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH DZVP, MOLOPT, SR, GTH, q2 2 1
Which Gaussian Basis Set do you want to add? ('n' for none, 'a' for all, comma-seperated list or range of numbers): 2

$ verdi data gaussian.basisset list
Info: 1 Gaussian Basis Sets found:

4a173d43-b022-4e1e-aca9-c4db51da223b He DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q2, DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH DZVP, MOLOPT, SR, GTH, q2 2 1Notes:
- The command line argument
--sym Heis optional (leaving it away will simply show all available entries) - The plugin automatically filters already imported basis sets
To reference this in a verdi script, you can use the following snippet:
from aiida.plugins import DataFactory
BasisSet = DataFactory('gaussian.basisset')
basis_He = BasisSet.get(element="He", name="DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH")
# the generic way using BasisSet.objects.find(...) works too, of courseNotes:
- You don't have to specify the full name (
DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q2), the shorter name (DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH) also works
Import and use Pseudopotential from CP2K
To import a specific pseudopotential from a file with pseudopotentials in CP2K's native format, simply use:
$ verdi data gaussian.pseudo import --sym He data/GTH_POTENTIALS
Info: 4 Gaussian Pseudopotentials found:
