Another question, do we need to relax the geometries again with the PAW pseudopotential before doing the spectra calculation or a relaxed geometry obtained using a standard ultrasoft or norm conserving pseudopotential with the same exchange correlation functional is sufficient? <br>

If the forces are small, you proceed with the xsp calculation, otherwise it may be a good idea to relax.<div class="HOEnZb">
