[CP2K:3064] Pseudopotential format

Dear Juerg,

Will you please elaborate a bit more. In particular, I have two questions:

(a) If I use LANL2DZ in GPW then, should I specify PSEUDO_TYPE ECP as per 
the link https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/ATOM/POTENTIAL.html 

Do the LANL2DZ type QC basis sets have any connection with PP (like GTH 
pseudopotentials) that we use to make plane wave basis sets faster.

(b) If I doing GAPW computation and using LANL2DZ basis set, then do I need 
to also include the POTENTIAL in the input file. If yes, then instead of 
GTH PP should I use ECP PP?

What would be the best way in CP2K to draw parallel comparison with the QM 
computation using ECPs like LANL2DZ in Gaussian. I am a newbie to CP2K, and 
still trying to assimilate the concept of PP in CP2K. Any insights will be 
very helpful.

Thanks,
Megha

Thanks,
Megha Anand
