[Pw_forum] Pseudopotentials to be used

[Nicola Marzari]

Dear Mitul,

very easy - you should use the pslibrary:
http://qe-forge.org/gf/project/pslibrary/ ,
or, in alternative (maybe a bit softer) the GBRV library:
http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/gbrv/

Compiled pseudos for the 0.3.0 pslibrary can be found here:
http://theossrv1.epfl.ch/Main/Links
We'll update it in the next few days to 0.3.1 .
