Hi

it includes the eigenvalues of semi-core, valence and the first 
unoccupied state, the number of nodes, and the density inside a
cutoff value. See the papers for more information.

Hi Hutter,
  I have another question. It seems that the objective function just include the eigenvalue of orbitals and no density charge. In principle, the objective function should include some atomic properties, such as eigenvalue of orbitals, density charge and location of node.
  With my best regards,
  Zhi

the optimization of GTH pseudos is not unique. Depending on your 
object function, starting point and convergence you can get rather 
different results. The performance of all these different pseudos 
should be rather similar though. 
There are also elements that can be tricky to get and many repeated 
optimizations and some 'magic' is needed to get good results.

Subject: [CP2K:11041] Generate the GTH pseudopotential by ATOM 
 
Hello, 
  I need to generate the GTH pseudopotential and hope to use ATOM code in CP2K. But I find it is a little hard for me. The only thing I can do is just changing the initial guess of pseudopotential parameters. But there are so many parameters in GTH pseudopotential. The optimized pseudopotential changes slightly compared with initial guess. Can anyone tell me how to generate the GTH pseudopotential correctly by ATOM? I will be very appreciated! 
  Best regards, 
  Zhi
