Dear all,

I'm trying to generate an LDA pseudopotential for Mo, but the generating and testing results are not the same. Here are the input and output files:

As you can see, the wfc in the two output files are not the same at all, and this leads to the case that the pseudowfc in the test and and the all-electron wfc are not overlapped when r>rcut.


Could any nice guy tell me where the mistake is? I'm so confused now. Thank you very much!

Warmest regards,

Plato Tao
