[QE-users] optical properties with ultra-soft pseudopotential

Dear users,

I am interested in calculating the optical properties using epsilon.x.
I have a spin-polarized system with spin-orbit coupling. I understood 
that
epsilon.x works only with norm-conserving pseudo-potentials. My question 
is
does it also work with the ultra-soft fully relativistic 
pseudopotential?
Is there also some other utility to calculate the interband optical 
transition
matrix elements?

Another question is does the Hubbard U also work for fully relativistic 
pseudopotential?
So can I perform a DFT+U+SOC calculation?

Thanks a lot for answering.

Regards
Banhi
