Hello Obviously there is something wrong with the .Psf file. Have you tried generating it (In.Psf) yourself by ATOM and see if there is the same error again while simulating.

Hi All, While running InAs.fdf file for bandstructure calculations, I have been getting pseudopotential errors for Indium. I use the pseudopotential file available on siesta website. this is the error I get : " atom: Called for In (Z = 49) read_vps: Pseudopotential generation method: read_vps: ATM3 Troullier-Martins Total valence charge: 3.00000 read_vps: Pseudopotential includes a core correction: read_vps: Pseudo-core for xc-correction xc_check: Exchange-correlation functional: xc_check: GGA Perdew, Burke & Ernzerhof 1996 V l=0 = -2*Zval/r beyond r= 4.2447 V l=1 = -2*Zval/r beyond r= 4.2447 V l=2 = -2*Zval/r beyond r= 4.2447 V l=3 = -2*Zval/r beyond r= 4.2447 All V_l potentials equal beyond r= 2.8099 This should be close to max(r_c) in ps generation All pots = -2*Zval/r beyond r= 4.2447 Using large-core scheme for Vlocal atom: Estimated core radius 4.24469 atom: Maximum radius for 4*pi*r*r*local-pseudopot. charge 4.63283 atom: Maximum radius for r*vlocal+2*Zval: 4.29808 GHOST: No ghost state for L = 0 GHOST: No ghost state for L = 1 GHOST: WARNING: Ghost state for L = 2 GHOST: No ghost state for L = 3 KBgen: WARNING: Ghost states have been detected KBgen: WARNING: Some parameter should be changed in the KBgen: WARNING: pseudopotential generation procedure.
