pseudo-hydrogen pseudopotential generated by fractional utility

Asked by Bruno

I'm trying to run calculations with pseudo-hydrogen for surface passivation.

I've generated a pseudo-hydrogen pseudopotential with 0.33 valence from H pseudopotential using the fractional utility as:
fractional H 0.33

Then I've added the fractional label and synthetic block as generated by the fractional utility to my input fdf file, and also copied the generated psf file to the calculation folder.

When reading the pseudopotential information, siesta correctly reads the pseudo info for the other atoms, but when it reaches the fractional H atom it stops with the following error:

Reading pseudopotential from: H-Fraction-0.33000.psf

Reading pseudopotential information in formatted form from H-Fraction-0.33000.psf

Pseudopotential generated from a relativistic atomic calculation

Valence configuration for pseudopotential generation:
Cannot get gen_zval
Stopping Program from Node: 0

How can I fix that error ? What am I doing wrong ?
