Hi
Does VASP accept Ultrasoft pseudopotentials?

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).
