Dear Sir or Madam,

Would you like to tell me whether I could generate some potentials by myself? I sent email to the below email address: vasp.materialphysik@univie.ac.at, wish to ask for two new potentials for our special study. But till now, I really have not gotten any reply from the VASP Master.

Thanks

1) the PP generation code is NOT distributed by us without exception
2) please give us some time to relpy to any such requests.
3) In general,
US-PPs are NOT generated anymore,
PAW potentials are generated if the need of a new PP seems reasonable
for your research work (please give a short description of your calculations
in your mail to vasp.materialphysik@univie.ac.at).
4) please also be aware that the generation and testing of o new PP may be
time-consuming, which may cause a certain delay.

Hello,

I would like to know some information in the POTCAR file generated for Fe_pv (PAW).
According to VASP Userguide PSCTR contains all basis functions included in the POTCAR. And there are 6 basis functions 2 for each l (l=0, 1, 2).
But in POTCAR itself there are the same basis functions plus a function for l=3 with zero core radius. What does this additional function mean?

Thanks in advance!
