# CP2K XPS ## Pt 4f System info: - Pt, FCC - bulk, supercell 3x3x3, cell size: 11.76 - number of atoms: 108 Replace one Pt atom by a new kind `Pt1`: ``` &KIND Pt BASIS_SET DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q18 ELEMENT Pt POTENTIAL GTH-PBESOL-q18 &END KIND &KIND Pt1 BASIS_SET DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q18 CORE_CORRECTION 1 ELEMENT Pt POTENTIAL GTH-PBESOL-q19_4f13 &END KIND ``` Then I calculated the energy difference between two systems: ``` E_b = E_13 - E_14 = -421.14 (eV) ``` The binding energy of Pt 4f is 71.2 eV from experimental data. ### Singe atom test I also tried to calculate the binding energy of a single Pt atom ``` E_b = E_13 - E_14 = -10.81 (eV) ``` In a calculation using Quantum ESPRESSO, the value is ~ 68 eV.
