Hi

you cannot use the LANL pseudopotentials in CP2K. There is
only an option to use them in the atomic code to get reference
values.

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

Subject: [CP2K:3064] Pseudopotential formatDear all,I'm trying to use LANL2DZ basis with cp2k. I have converted the basis
set from Turbomole format easyly (from EMSL). However I don't know how
to convert pseudopotential from Turbomole, Gaussian or other format to
CP2K format. I wonder if this is possible or I have to generate it
using the programs that are contained in the folder "*/cp2k/potentials/
* "Best regards,Jose--
