Dear CCL members,
            Greetings.The pseudopotential basis sets such as lanl2dz has been generally employed for the elements starting from Sc.I need to know is it advisable or possible to employ the above pseudopotential for all the elements.
in DFT methods.What are the possible pitfalls normally to be encountered if employed in such cases. Your suggestions in clarifying my doubts will always be welcome.

Cheers
Anand
