Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism
Abstract
A new approach to the construction of first-principles pseudopotentials is described. The method allows transferability to be improved systematically while holding the cutoff radius fixed, even for large cutoff radii. Novel features are that the pseudopotential itself becomes charge-state dependent, the usual norm-conservation constraint does not apply, and a generalized eigenproblem is introduced. The potentials have a separable form well suited for plane-wave solid-state calculations, and show promise for application to first-row and transition-metal systems.

The SSSP testing protocol is made of a verification part based on the Δ-factor and a performance-oriented part based on plane-wave convergence tests for phonon frequencies, band structures, cohesive energies and stress tensors.
“Our protocol, named SSSP (standard solid-state pseudopotential) testing protocol, is made of a verification part, based on the ∆ -factor (i.e. the difference between allelectron and PSP equations of state) [6, 7], and an extensive performance-oriented part based on plane-wave convergence tests for phonon frequencies, band structures, cohesive energies and stress tensors.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
