εs | –0.63 000 872 | –0.51 063 909 |
εp | –0.25 802 653 | –0.20 276 532 |
εd | 0.32 140 766 | 0.52 019 087 |
Espin | –0.03 121 074 | –0.06 868 820 |
U | 0.3288 | 0.2894 |
Ud | –0.11 | –0.14 |
As described in the text, U, Espin, εs,p, nmax, and αi are in line with the standard choices of DFTB parametrization and not subject to optimizations. By contrast, rwf, rwfd, rdens, εd, and Ud are adjusted based on properties of molecules in the fitting set.
