As I saw in the mailing list, I have to consider two points <br></div><div>1- using input_dft='B3LYP' in the &system <br></div><div>2 - using norm-conserving PPs. <br></div><div>But the problem is that QE don't have any norm-conserving PPs for Cu, Ca, and O. Therefore I tried to use fhi2upf.x for converting Abinit PPs to QE. I did following steps and finally the program give me PP while several parameters are zero in the PPs such as Rcut, Rcut US, and E pseu. Furthermore, I couldn't use it in the calculation. </div><div>I attached several lines of PPs for Cu <br></div><div><br></div><div>Is it Ok or wrong?</div><div>Best
