Issue with nonlinear core correction in PPs

Post by hlee » Tue Feb 10, 2015 1:19 pm

Dear Developers:

Could Yambo deal with pseudopotentials (PPs) with nonlinear-core correction (NLCC)?
If so, how does Yambo treat PPs with NLCC? For example, which file is responsible for this functionality?

Sincerely,

Dear Hyungjun Lee,
yambo does not deal with the NLCC.

If you try to use a pseudo-potentials with NLCC the code will run but the NLCC will be simply neglected.

Dear Davide Sangalli:

Thank you very much for your reply.
I will instead use PPs with the semi-core states.
