+ | ====== File format for Norm-Conserving Pseudopotentials ====== | ||
+ | The pseudopotential files consist of a number of header lines, followed by the data on a radial grid. | ||
+ | The three first lines of the header have the same format and meaning for all norm-conserving pseudopotential files that can be read by ABINIT. They are :\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | The data may be located anywhere on the line as long as it is provided | ||
+ | in the order indicated (it is read with free format). | ||
+ | In the case of Si with lmax=2, the header may look like the following 10 lines: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Si Fri Oct 08 11:18:59 1993 | ||
+ | 14.00000 | ||
+ | 1 1 2 2 2001 .00050 | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first line is free, and might contain information useful for the pseudopotential generator only. | ||
+ | In the present case, it means that this silicon pseudopotential was created in 1993. | ||
+ | The next two lines are important for ABINIT, with the following meaning: | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | is defined, which is also used for the local potential | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | electrons which would otherwise be unbound in lda (usually 0.000) | ||
+ | |||
+ | At this point, differences might appear in the different file formats, that are described hereafter. | ||
