Dear colleagues,

I read a slides wrote by Dr. Paolo Giannozzi on the lattice constant of 
graphite.
If we set input_dft='PZ' but with a PBE pseudopotential, the obtained lattice 
constant is very close to experiment.
If we set input_dft='PZ' and with a LDA pseudopotential, the obtained lattice 
constant is far smaller than experiment.

I understand that LDA can be a rough replacement fore the vdW correction. But 
why the PP must be generated in the PBE form ?

Best regards,
