[Pw_forum] PP for transition metal

[Noah_Park]

 Dear All;
 (Especially to Eyvaz)
 Let me ask you a rather physical question deviated from the code.
 
 Why the application of Norm-Conserving PseudoPotential is doubtable in the cases of transition metal ?
 Could anybody answer me or guide a reference that I should read ?
 
 Best regards,
 
 Noah
