Hello Lucian,

ONCV is not part of quantum espresso. That said, if you want an answer regarding an error message, you should at least tell us the message or provide the input files that caused it.

Also note, that the input file used to generate a UPF files can be found inside UPF file itself.

regards

Hello all,

I have been hitting a wall for about 2 days now, trying to generate a pseudo potential with the oncvpsp code that pseudojo.org site is using. I have installed it on my system and it appears to only work with a handfull of options but not with the ones from the site.


More precisely I am trying to generate an LDA pseudo potential for Oxygen in the upf format using iexc = -010012 which is (according to the very poor documentation that comes with the program) a combination between Perdew&Zunger (modified) (this is the 010 part) and Perdew&Wang (the 012 part of the iexc paramater). When I run the program, I get an error that this option is not supported. And this is just something that the author of the code did not implement for the upf format not that is not possible.

It only works to generate psp8 pseudo potential files. But on the pseudojo site one can download the upf version too.


So my questions are:

1) what software can I use to generate norm conserving upf pseudo potentials?

2) is there another more updated version of this oncvpsp software?

3) if there is no alternative, is there a way to convert the psp8 to upf?


Cheers,


Lucian
