[QE-users] Error in DFT+U calculations with ultrasoft pseudopotentials

[Yusuke KONISHI]

Dear QE users and developers,

We are investigating CeO2. We would like to reproduce the results of 
this paper ( https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jp0511698 ), but when we 
tried to perform DFT+U calculation using 
Ce.pbe-spdn-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF and O.pbe-n-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF, which 
can be downloaded from PSlibrary, we got the following error and could 
not perform the calculation.

How can we solve the problem?

Thank you.
