[Pw_forum] Pseudo potentials for hybrid DFT

[Eyvaz Isaev]

Dear Brend,

>From /Doc/INPUT_PW.txt

 Variable:       input_dft

   Type:           CHARACTER
   Default:        read from pseudopotential files
   Description:    Exchange-correlation functional: eg 'PBE', 'BLYP' etc
                         See Modules/functionals.f90 for allowed values.
                         Overrides the value read from pseudopotential files.
                        Use with care and if you know what you are doing!


But as far as I remember this works (at least, worked) for norm-conserving 
pseudopotentials only.

> Is it important that pseudo potentials matches to the DFT functional?

Yes, all pseudopotentials you apply should have the same DFT if you  do not use 
input_dft keyword.

Bests,
Eyvaz.

Subject: [Pw_forum] Pseudo potentials for hybrid DFT

Dear QuantumEspresso Community,

I am interested in calculating organic molecules using hybrid DFT
functionals like PBE0 or B3LYP. Therefore I searching pseudo potentials
mainly for the elements H, C, O, N, S, Cl, Br, and I. In the database of
QuantumEspresso I don't have found a consistent PP set for all these
elements. So, what is the best way to select pseudo potentials? Is it
important that pseudo potentials matches to the DFT functional?

Thank yo in advance,

Sincerely,
