Implementation of a Z-matrix approach within the SIESTA periodic boudnary conditions code and its application to surface adsorption

We implement a flexible Z-matrix approach in the density functional theory (DFT) periodic boundary conditions code, SIESTA. This allows a mixture of Z-matrix and Cartesian coordinates to be used for geometry specification and optimisation. In addition, geometry constraints in the form of fixed coord...
