Hello,


I have problems using the pseudopotential file K.psf from the pseudo-database.

I receive the error report:



atom: Estimated core radius 4.67876
atom: Maximum radius for 4*pi*r*r*local-pseudopot. charge 5.04317
atom: Maximum radius for r*vlocal+2*Zval: 4.73761
GHOST: No ghost state for L = 0
GHOST: WARNING: Ghost state for L = 1
GHOST: No ghost state for L = 2
KBgen: WARNING: Ghost states have been detected
KBgen: WARNING: Some parameter should be changed in the 
KBgen: WARNING: pseudopotential generation procedure.
Stopping Program from Node: 0



I read in the mail archive that this pseudopotential is not usable with Siesta 
(in the database there was no hint for that).

Is this true or did I make a mistake?

If its true can anybody provide a tested pseudopotential for potassium/GGA?



Here is my input file:
