The correct calculation of the ELF with ultrasoft pseudopotentials or with PAW requires to compute the contribution from augmentation charges. The calculation of such contribution is not straightforward. One can simply ignore it and be aware of the fact that something is missing in the core region.

Dear all,

I tried to generated a ELF plot of Ta using pp.x and have got the ELF plot.
However, I noticed that the output of the pp.x run contains the following
information:
-----------------------------------
Message from routine do_elf:
elf + US not fully implemented

For clarification I searched in the mail list. I understood this is because of 
the usage of US and NC potentials. So instead of these potentials I used PAW, 
with this also I am getting above message. Please help me in that, these are my 
input files.
