Generating new pseudopotentials
===============================

For Dacapo, we use pseudopotentials generated with `USPP package`_.
Download the latest `uspp-736-0.tgz <http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~dhv/uspp/uspp-736-0.tgz>`_ version.

Compiling the package
---------------------

* unpack the package::

   gunzip < uspp-736-0.tgz | tar xf -
   cd uspp-736

* the compiler must be able to generate fortran unformatted IEEE big-endian data files.
  Note that `g77` compiler does not provide (?) this feature.
  See `<https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/dacapo/Installation#installing-the-pseudopotentials>`_ and
  set the appropriate compiler flag `FC` and `FFLAGS` in `Source/Makefile` file.
  E.g. for pgi compiler the settings are::

   FC = pgf77
   FFLAGS= -byteswapio -Dstatic -Bstatic_pgi

* Execute::

   make compile

Example
-------

Directory `Work` contains examples of pseudopotentials.
To generate a pseudopotential go into one of directories
(e.g. Work/011-Na/011-Na-ca-n-campos) and type::

   make

This psedopotential uses `na_ae_0.adat` file as the all-electron run of the reference atomic configuration,
and `na_ps.adat` as pseudopotential generation file. Other \*ae\*adat files (together with
the corresponding \*test\*adat files) are used
for testing of the generated pseudopotential using different electronic configurations.
The pseudopotential data is written into `na_ps.uspp` file.
Use the ``SetPseudoPotential(<elementnumber>, path)`` method, as described in
`<https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/dacapo/Manual#pseudo-potentials>`_,
to tell dacapo program to use this pseudopotential file.

See `Makefile` for details and
the `Doc <http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~dhv/uspp/uspp-736/Doc/>`_ directory for the manual.

Have a look at the example (for Na) 011-Na-ca-n-campos_ca_01_incl_tests.tar.gz__.
It describes, step-by-step, the modifications made to the default LDA pseudopotential used by dacapo.
This pseudopotential which uses 1s, 2s, and 2p electrons as the core.
Unpack this file into the Work/011-Na directory and read the *NEW* file::

   cd Work/011-Na; gunzip < 011-Na-ca-n-campos_ca_01_incl_tests.tar.gz | tar xf -

__ attachment:011-Na-ca-n-campos_ca_01_incl_tests.tar.gz

The 011-Na-pw91-n-campos_pw91_01_incl_tests.tar.gz__ package provides the corresponding PW91 pseudpotential for Na,
011-Na-pw91-sp-campos_pw91_01_incl_tests.tar.gz__ uses only 1s electrons as the core.

This `tutorial <http://www.abinit.org/Infos/Tutorial/lesson_paw2.html>`_ provides
yet another step-by-step description of the generation process of a new pseudopotential for **Ti**.
