[Pw_forum] upf for siesta pseudopotentials

[ma Yanming]

Hi,

I am pretty sure the PPs used by Siesta and PWSCF can be converted directly 
each other. Siesta and PWSCF can both use Troullier Martins PPs, although 
the atomic orbital is used to expanse the bloch function in Siesta, while 
in PWSCF  the plane waves is used.
I use both code, but I have not tried to convert them. Because, for TM PPs, 
one can generate PPs in Siesta using ATOM code and one can generate PPs in 
PWSCF using FHI code by choosing the similar core radius cutoff for s, p, 
d, and f orbital in a common sense.

Best Regards
