I have to admit that this is the first time that NMR/EFG results<br>
depend so much on the choice of the pseudopotential. I've calculated<br>
a bunch of minerals, both with NC and US pseudos, and results are<br>
in good agreement each other.<br>
<br>
I've tested several Co pseudos (NC, NC+semicore, PAW+semicore) on<br>
Co3O4 spinel and the EFG results span the entire real numbers range,<br>
both for Co and for O.<br>
<br>
Which one is correct? I don't know. I'm in favor of pseudopotentials<br>
with semicore states. They should be closer to all-electron.<br>
<br>
Do you have some reference with Co EFG calculated all-electron (wien2k,<br>
elk/exciting) on some simple system? If not, is there someone that<br>
could help us to setup a wien2k/elk calculation?<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
I am working on calculating nmr parameters with gipaw code. I have two settings: one with norm-conserving gipaw pesudopotentials which has some semi-core states, and the other with ultra-soft gipaw pseudopotentials. Electronic structure eigenvalues from pwscf look similar, and chemical-shift are not far away from each other. The issue is quadrupolar coupling, for Co, norm-conserving calculation gives 0.5MHz and ultra-soft gives 1.5MHz. It seems to me a significant discrepancy. I don't know what caused the inconsistency, and which one is more reliable. I appreciate any insight on this problem.<br>
<br>
One thing about norm-conserving calculation is that the code gives warming about some orbitals has zero norm. I don't know if that could be of concern.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Jia<br>
