Dear Jiayu,
we constructed a ultrasoft 11e pseudopotential for Al (attached) and
tested it in Physical Review B 77, 172102 (2008) (if needed, maybe it
could be included in the pseudo table, with reference to the paper above).
I would be a bit careful with a NCPP and 11e, since you will have only
one projector per angular momentum, but the energy of e.g. the 2s and
3s are very different.
