[Pw_forum] Ghost States

[Emine Kucukbenli]

  Dear Phillip,
  ghost states are related to pseudopotentials. if you are _sure_ that
  you have a ghost state, the safest thing would be changing the pseudo
  for that particular atom. Please let us know if it is one of the pp's
  from  QE-database.
  cheers,
