Dear MV,


you can find the tests for the SG15 pseudos on the SSSP pseudopotentials page - I checked the Fe, and it doesn't have any ghosts, at least in the elemental bulk form.

Thank you for your exhaustive and enlightening comment. I would rather stick to the abinit version of ONCV pseudopotentials. I really don't know which version I am using (at least I haven't managed to find the version number in the ONCVPSP folders). The zip-archive was downloaded 4 December 2019 and I believe it was the latest version at the moment.

Hello,
the version number is in the file name, it can be
 1.0 - January 2015
 1.1 - May 2015, not for all elements
 1.2 - (and not 1.5, as I incorrectly recalled) from June 2016, but only
        published ready-made in UPF version in February 2020

For Iron you have
Fe_ONCV_PBE-1.0.UPF
Fe_ONCV_PBE-1.2.UPF

I would say, try the 1.2 if the 1.0 has ghosts.
Many thanks again, Lorenzo. I believe I have downloaded ONCV pseudopotentials from the link in the official QE site (https://github.com/pipidog/ONCVPSP). It might be outdated, at least psedopotential files in it have no version number. The latest version of SG15 pseudopotentials can be downloaded from the original site http://www.quantum-simulation.org/potentials/sg15_oncv/ .

  Surely I give them a try.

Sincerely yours,
M.V. Kondrin

cheers



Sincerely yours,
