Yambo Community Forum

Dear Yambo community,

I realized that yambo works only with nc pp (no paw or us), I guess a that a recommended database can exist, can someone help me on that?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Youssef,
you can found several nc pseudopotential in the quantum espresso website:
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudopotentials/

you can have a look also here:
http://theossrv1.epfl.ch/Main/Pseudopotentials
check for the PSlibrary 0.3.1, it should contain also NC pseudos.

Best,
Daniele

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for the links, In facts, I've already works with PS library in terms of PAW and US PP.
Do you thinks that this NC PP are enough accurate to perform a quasi-particle calculation?

Dear Youssef,

Hard to answer, Role of the PP in QP calculations is argument of research and debates. As a matter of fact most of the codes, including Yambo, works with NC PP, and this is more or less the standard in the literature.
