Pseudopotentials

Questions will be moved to this forum when we consider them out of scope for support from our side: for instance when we do not have the necessary expertise to come up with an answer.
Another user still might, though!

Hi,

Technically one can download and use the ultrasoft pseudopotentials from the VASP user portal. However, the support of these US-PP potential in the code is very limited and they can only be used with great caution. Furthermore, the PAW potentials are far superior and should be preferred (see wiki).
