Dear Ari,

Thank you but I am not looking for a new GTH-type pseudopotential for Ge,
nor am I trying to generate a new Ge pseudo. I am looking for the
generation information of the specific Ge GTH pseudo that is hosted on the
QE website, with file name "Ge.pz-hgh.UPF". See first attachment.

Thank you for the link, I used your instructions to get the 2nd attached
file. Seeing as lmax is different here compared to Ge.pz-hgh.UPF, I am
presuming these are different pseudopotentials (not just different file
formats).

Specifically, I am looking for lmax, r_cut for each l-channel, and
generating XC functional for Ge.pz-hgh.UPF. I have lmax (2) and the XC
funct (PZ-LDA), so really I just need the cutoff radii that were used to
generate this pseudo, if available.


On another point, I find that the link to M. Kracks pseudopotentials on the
page http://www.quantum-espresso.org/pseudopotentials/about/  is currently
broken (leads to a "phonebook" page, no pseudo details anywhere). Thank you
again for the correct link to this page.


Thanks again,

Gabriel
