[Pw_forum] some problem with ld1.x

[mohsen modaresi]

Dear Lorenzo Paulatto
Thanks fot your answer.
yes you are right i have not enough information about pseudopotential.
about my second question: all of examples work with Si,Al,Fe,Ni,...
i asked that can we work with GaAs or MgO or FeO which have two elements?
and if we can what is our (config) and (zval)?((we have two elements that
have different configuration which configuration must be used?))
and thanks for "atomic_doc"
 best wishes
