Dear Noah,
My doubts are based on the fact that pseudopotentials
for transition metals are always very deep and you
have to get very high cutoff energy (say, 100Ry and
even more) for reasonable result. Of course, if you
have enormous computer resources you can try these
PsPs.
My experience with bulk Ni was not successful on my PC
using 90Ry.
Good luck,
Eyvaz.
