[CP2K:5627] Pseudopotentials and DFT functionals

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

1) you can. However, I would only do it for "similar" functionals.
   The only problem you can run into, is a reduction of accuracy.

2) Yes, the atomic code can be used to generate NLCC pseudopotentials.
   However, the PBE NLCC pseudopotentials are from the Goedecker
   group and have been optimised using another code and another
   protocol. Have a look into the papers from that group about
   details.

Dear CP2k developers and users,

1. Can one use GTH-PBE pseudopotentials with other functionals, e.g. meta-GGA or hybrid functionals? Can it cause a problem, and, if so, what kind of problem may be caused?

2. Can one use ATOMIC code to optimize NLCC pseudopotentials? As I've noticed, NLCC pseudopotentials are optimized for PBE only. Can we use them with other DFT functionals?

Best regards,
MP
