[QE-users] non unifrom kpt grid at epsilon.x

[Fariba Islam]

Dear Vivek,
Where did you get the pseudopotentials? I am asking this because with USPP
epsilon.x doesn’t work and with the NC PP that I used, I got divide by zero
error. Please it will be of great help if you let me know the source of the
PP.
