Norm conserving PP

Post by samaneh » Sun Feb 02, 2014 1:20 pm

Hi there,
Would you please explain why do we use norm conserving PP in yambo??
How about force symmorphic='true' ?
Thanks

Dear S. Atei,
the answer is simply because ultra-soft pseudo potential and translation symmetries treatment are not implemented. The first one could be vey useful, but problem of otho-normalization can arise, so it is not straightforward to implement. The second one I think that a proper set up of the ground state unit cell can avoid the non symmorphic symmetries to appear.
Hope it helps,
Daniele
