Dear pwscf users<div> I was trying to calculate the core level shifting of Al (111) and Cu surface using quantum espresso. Is it necessary to use core excited pseudo potential or as in Z+1 approximation or equivalent core approximation can we use another pseudo potential of next atom , for example Si in case of Al and Zn for Cu ? Also when I ran a calculation for Al (using Si PP) in the output for initial state shift I got a warning "BEWARE: shift with CC never tested !!! ". Can anyone please tell me what it is and why it comes</div>
