Dear Jia Chen,<br>
<br>
do you really need to use this specific pseudopotential? It looks
like it was built for specific purposes (XPS calculations) and has some
non-standard features (in my opinion at least). Specifically, it has
more wavefunctions than beta projectors and moreover the 3d channel is
treated as local (I don't if and how this may affect transferability). <br>
However the 3D wavefunction is present and has occupation greater than
zero (contrary to the 4D wfc), so I can't see the reason why the code
should give such result. I will have a look at it, but in the meanwhile
I suggest you to try also one of the other PBE PPs for Co which are
present on the QE website.<br>

<div>Thank you so much for your help. I did an atomic calculation

<div>According to your post, I don't think it can be any problem, but
atomic calculation I did is not correct. Can you give me further help
about what can go wrong? I looked inside offset_atom_wfc.f90, but I
have no idea how to check if pw picks right atomic wavefunction.... Can
you give me some hints about that? Thank you so much!</div>
