[Pw_forum] Request for Pseudopotentials for Si and H

Hi There,

Thanks for your help, however I did not need these Pseudopotentials as I already have these  ( Si.pz-vbc.UPF and H.pz-vbc.UPF ). I need the following or else if I use these values my calculations did not run. The one which I need are as follows.
                  
           Si   28.08600  Si.vbc.UPF 
          and 

           H    1.00800  H.vbc.UPF 

Thanks

Shapta.

Dear Rakshit,

I'm just copy pasting from a previous answer in the forum to the same  
question: it might help, it might not.

Hello,
   Assuming that there are no problems of numerical inaccuracy or  
inadequate convergence
thresholds, negative frequencies at gamma point in a geometry-relaxed  
system usually mean that
(within the system and the calculation method used) there is some  
distortion (decreasing the
symmetry of the system) which leads to lower energy, i.e. you are at a  
saddle point in the energy
hypersurface. You must move some atom out of the initial symmetry and  
optimize geometry
again starting from that modified situation. If you can obtain the  
vector coordinates for the normal
mode of vibration corresponding to the negative frequency, a  
displacement of the involved atoms,
proportional to that normal mode, by e.g. a maximum of 0.2 angstrom  
will give to you a starting
displaced geometry closer to the true energy minimum. Sometimes you  
need to do this several
times if not all of the negative frequencies disappear after the first  
attempt.
If, after obtaining a new geometry with no negative frequencies at the  
gamma point, you still have
negative frequencies at other BZ points, this means that your system  
is unstable against some
atomic displacements that multiply some of the primitive cell vectors  
by e.g. 2 or 3, leading to a
supercell. Curing this situation may be more tedious.
Good luck,

you calculated phonons at q=0 only, so all you can and should
do is to run dynmat.x (not matdyn.x) to apply the acoustic sum
rule and to calculate lo-to splitting.

I am not sure I understand what you mean. One possibility is the following:
when one calculates bands, a few high-lying states may not be the correct 
ones because of the way iterative diagonalization works (it starts from
an initial guess). This is a rather normal behavior. The highest states in a
band calculation should be discarded.

Hi Quantum espresso users,

I need the  following pseudopotential file for my simulation  Si.vbc.UPF and
H.vbc.UPF . Howeevr I could not find them in PWScf, so can anybody suggest
me from where can I download these pseudopotentials. Please help me!!
Thanks

Shaptarishi.

Hey SaptariBshi, 
 You can find them in /pseudo directory under espresso, e.g. 
espresso-4.0.4/pseudo
