Hi

this option (converting PP with SOC to UPF format) is not implemented in CP2K.

regards
JH

Subject: [CP2K:21330] Converting SOC pseudopotential from GTH to UPF format

Dear CP2K developers and users,

I find there are pseudopotentials with SOC information in file GTH_SOC_POTENTIALS. However, when I try to convert it to UPF format so as to use it in Quantum ESPRESSO run, my CP2K run fails with following error message:

At line 2686 of file /root/soft/cp2k/src/atom_types.F
Fortran runtime error: Bad integer for item 1 in list input

Error termination. Backtrace:

My input script is very simple, so I directly paste it below:

Is there any problem with my input?
