Scandium pseudopotential PAW Sc 03Oct2001 bug
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2013 8:18 pm
Hello,
There seems to be something wrong with the scandium pseudopotential dated PAW Sc 03Oct2001.
head POTCAR:
PAW Sc 03Oct2001
3.00000000000000000
parameters from PSCTR are:
VRHFIN =Sc: 3s3p4s3d
LEXCH = CA
EATOM = 45.3998 eV, 3.3368 Ry
TITEL = PAW Sc 03Oct2001
LULTRA = F use ultrasoft PP ?
IUNSCR = 1 unscreen: 0-lin 1-nonlin 2-no
I did a structural relaxation from this starting configuration:
