The PseudoDojo: Training and grading a 85 element optimized norm-conserving pseudopotential table

M. J. van Setten, M. Giantomassi, E. Bousquet +4

First-principles calculations in crystalline structures are often performed with a planewave basis set. To make the number of basis functions tractable two approximations are usual…

Optimized norm-conserving Vanderbilt pseudopotentials

D. R. Hamann

Fully-nonlocal two-projector norm-conserving pseudopotentials are shown to be compatible with a systematic approach to the optimization of convergence with the size of the plane-wa…
