    <p>Dear Kris,<br>
      the core-relaxation feature of GIPAW is extremely experimental.<br>
      It's based on a perturbation approach which might not be adequate<br>
      in all cases.</p>
    <p>Could you try with the attached pseudopotential? this one has 3
      valence<br>
      electrons for Li and a cutoff between 120 and 150 Ry should be
      sufficient.<br>
      This way, the polarization of the 1s electrons should be described
      at a<br>
      better level.</p>
    <p>However, we are also working on similar Li-battery materials,
      comparing to<br>
      experiments and Crystal14+B3LYP calculations, and in some cases we
      are<br>
      not able to reproduce the Li hyperfine cc.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Good luck for your calculations.</p>
    <p>Davide<br>

          at essentially half that A)</div>
