[QE-users] DFT + Hubbard error with ccECP pseudopotentials in QE 7.1 and 7.2

[Anirudh Adavi]

Hello,

I am attempting to run some SCF calculations with QE on transition metal oxide systems to generate orbitals for subsequent QMC. As such, I have been using the ccECP and ccECP-soft pseudopotentials from https://pseudopotentiallibrary.org/. However, adding a U correction to either the Mn-3d or O-2p orbitals gives the following error.

     from offset_atom_wfc : error #         1
     Mismatch between the requested and available manifolds

My input is as follows.

   Na 22.99 Na.ccECP.upf
   O  15.999 O.ccECP.upf

U O-2p 6.0

The calculation works well with the ccECP potentials with no Hubbard correction. It also runs with Hubbard corrections when using the ONCV-SR pseudopotentials from D. R. Hamann, but I would prefer to keep the ccECP pseudopotentials for use in QMC. I encountered the same error when using QE 7.2. Any help in correcting my mistakes is greatly appreciated.

I apologize if this is the wrong channel for this question. Please let me know if further information is needed, or if there is a more appropriate place to ask.

Thank you,
