Dear all,

I am having difficulties with calculating the work function of various metals 
(Au and Pt in particular) using the X.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF and X.pbe-n-nc.UPF pseudo 
potentials.  Unlike in the example in WorkFct_example in PP I am regularly 
getting a positive Fermi energy and a vacuum level which is lower than the 
average level for the potential of the atoms.  Is this a case of poor pseudo 
potential choice, a bug or user error?

Any advice would be appreciated,

Kind regards

Steven
