Hello,

I see. I just use this potential and the problem is gone if U is not included. Thank you.

Jiajie

Dear Jiajie,

    on top of all these problems mentioned by Matteo and Andrei, there can be issues when the pseudopotential is not in a “standard” format. For instance, if it was converted from another format, the atomic wave functions might be missing from the file (as, for instance, in the only Eu PP present on the QE website: http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/upf_files/Eu.pz-sp-hgh.UPF).
