[Pw_forum] cpmd2upf sodium pseudopotentials

[Ananya Mondal]

Dear pwscf users,
I am trying to convert semi core norm conserving TM pseudopotentials
for Na atoms using cpmd2upf.x converter. I am however not sure of what
I should do. In particular, I am not sure
of the local reference state used in this pseudos.
For the Na atom, I attached the cpmd pseudopotential and  here are the
instructions I gave for conversion:
./cpmd2upf.x
Input file > Na_MT_PBE_SEMI.psp
Radial grid r(i) has  650 points
Assuming log radial grid: r(i)=exp[(i-1)*amesh]*r(1), with:
amesh = log (r(mesh)/r(1))/(mesh-1) =   0.017349

*** Please TEST BEFORE USING !!! ***

I have used "local L" > 1, is it correct?
Of course, I should test these converted pseudopotentials, but I would
like to be aware of potential problems before.

It is highly appreciated that if someone can send the
Troullier-Martins norm-conserving pseudopotentials  for sodium and
pottasium in UPF format.

I would be very thankfull for any help,

Best regards,
Ananya
