insert here:

recompile, generate file. If QE complains that MY_FUNNY_FUNCTIONAL is unknown, put something existing and set the XC functional you want to use with input variable "input_dft". Of course, no warranty

      stop


    end if

As you can see oncvpsp saves upf only for a few cases. This isn't the case with the psp8 output. That works fine with any iexc value.


I hope my problem is clearer now.

Hello all,

I have been hitting a wall for about 2 days now, trying to generate a pseudo potential with the oncvpsp code that pseudojo.org site is using. I have installed it on my system and it appears to only work with a handfull of options but not with the ones from the site.


More precisely I am trying to generate an LDA pseudo potential for Oxygen in the upf format using iexc = -010012 which is (according to the very poor documentation that comes with the program) a combination between Perdew&Zunger (modified) (this is the 010 part) and Perdew&Wang (the 012 part of the iexc paramater). When I run the program, I get an error that this option is not supported. And this is just something that the author of the code did not implement for the upf format not that is not possible.

It only works to generate psp8 pseudo potential files. But on the pseudojo site one can download the upf version too.


So my questions are:

1) what software can I use to generate norm conserving upf pseudo potentials?

2) is there another more updated version of this oncvpsp software?

3) if there is no alternative, is there a way to convert the psp8 to upf?


Cheers,


Lucian
