Dear Manu,

I would say, that it is usually a bad sign if there are nodes which shouldn't be there, but I could be wrong... In general, the user manual of the atomic code already gives a nice overview. Important question would be:

Are the eigenenergies well reproduced, especially for the state you want?
How do the logarithmic derivatives look like?
What about ghost states?

Note, that the pseudo could be too biased if you use +4 state to create it; it is definitely less transferable...
Can you provide your input?

Regards

Thomas

Hello All,
Posting again there was a typo.
I am trying to generate Ti pseudopotential with oxidation state *+4*. I have assumed valelnce electronic configurations as ''[Ar] 3d0.0 4s0 4p0''. When I did the PP test, i found this warning
       Warning: n=1, l=0 expected 0 nodes, found 3
       Setting wfc to zero for this iteration

Is it okay to use this PP for further calculations?

Thank You,
