Date typo in PBE.64 Nd POTCAR Header

#1 Post by marykate_ » Wed Oct 25, 2023 12:42 pm

This isn't a bug per se, but in case you weren't already aware, there is a typo in the first line of the Nd POTCAR for the new PBE version 64 release. It reads "PAW_PBE Nd 25May2002" instead of "PAW_PBE Nd 25May2022". It's not entirely important, but I noticed it when comparing the dates of the Nd POTCAR from the PBE version 54, which was "PAW_PBE Nd 23Dec2003", and had a brief moment of thinking an earlier generation of the Nd pseudopotential was used in the most recent release.

Thank you for updating the lanthanide PAW POTCAR files!

Sincerely,
Mary Kate

Hi Mary Kate,

Thank you for pointing it out!
I can confirm that this is a typo. Fortunately, for the other lanthanides, it correctly reads 25May2022.

Cheers,
Marie-Therese
