[Pw_forum] PAW potential for C

[chengyu yang]

Dear Duy Le,
         Thank you. Yes I understand that procedure, but my question
is about the concept: since the binding energy= E(1 at 2)-E(1)-E(2), than
should the choice of pseudopotential and k point doesn't matter
because they cancel each other in the process of subtraction.
      I know for total energy the result should be certainly different.
