[Pw_forum] PAW potential for C

[Stefano de Gironcoli]

Dear Chengyu Yang,
    Andrea Dal Corso is working on an extensive library of 
pseudopotentials and paw datasets .
    The project hosted by the QE-forge portal (http://qe-forge.org/) is 
named PSlibrary and can be reached directly at 
http://qe-forge.org/projects/pslibrary/ .
    It contains US and PAW input files for many elements including C.
best regards,
stefano de Gironcoli - SISSA and DEMOCRITOS
