    <p>Dear Manu,</p>
    <p>first of all, please note that I'm not an expert in
      pseudopotential creation! Anyway...</p>
    <p>If I use the input of the pslibrary 1.0 as a starting point, I
      have no problems in creating a pseudo...<br>
      The logarithmic derivatives look fine, there are no ghosts and
      also the energies are ok... Yet, just ok...<br>
      The transferability will be not so good as the difference between
      the all-electron calculation and the<br>
      ps one for the normal, uncharged groundstate of Ti shows a
      difference of about 1 mRy for the states<br>
      of the n=3 shell and also the 3s states for the +2 charged state
      is off by 1 mRy... Yet, these are <br>
      semi-core states and maybe you're not interested in them...<br>
    </p>
    <p>I think that it is always better to include all states of one
      shell (except maybe f-states) even if there are<br>
      not occupied... In fact, even if the 3d shell is empty for the +4
      oxidation state, it is lower in energy than<br>
      the 4s and 4p... Not including it in the pseudo makes not sense...<br>
    </p>
    <p>Maybe you should try using not the +4 state to create the
      pseudo... Maybe the +2 or the normal state<br>
      gives in the end better energies AND transferability... Or try
      changing the radii... Or wait until someone<br>
      with more knowledge in the creation of pseudos answers :)</p>
