Dear Sirs:
I have to use pseudopotentials(Vanderbilt ultra-soft
pseudopotentials & Troullier-Martins norm-conserving
pseudopotentials) in CPMD to simulate some proton transfer
phenomena, but I do have some problems need to be clarified
first.
1)For Vanderbilt ultra-soft pseudopotentials, does Pspw have
this pseudopotential? If it does, what's the keyword?
Do I need to specify the cutoff radius for it, or it has
default value?
2)For Troullier-Martins norm-conserving pseudopotentials,
how to decide the cutoff radius for different atoms? Is
there any principle for choosing/calculating cutoff radius?
There are only three different atoms(C, N, and H) in my
system, but I need to know how to specify the cutoff radius
for different atoms.
Thanks in advance.
