Dear all!

I have recently started using Harmann’s SG15 optimized norm-conserving PPs 
(http://www.quantum-simulation.org/potentials/sg15_oncv/).

They give very nice “out of the box” band structures and lattice constants 
whilst using small cutoffs. I have to use a NC PP because of further processing 
using YAMBO which currently only supports NC.

The only drawback is the empty

<PP_PSWFC>
</PP_PSWFC>

section in the PP files leading to projwfc.x echoing “Cannot project on zero 
atomic wavefunctions!” (self-explanatory). Projected wavefunctions give, 
however, nice plots for the VBM and CBM in terms of the involved orbitals.
I wonder if it is possible (and if someone has experience with..) re-building 
the PP including this section. The program for building the PP is available 
from http://www.mat-simresearch.com/oncvpsp-3.2.3.tar.gz but I am not sure what 
to look for in the manual. An annotated example is delivered with the program 
(and attached); maybe someone can give it a quick look?

Your help and advice is, as always, very much appreciated!

Yours,
Chris
