Dear Maria,

if it's epsilon infinity you are interested in, the phonon code should calculate it with USPP or PAW, you could could use the electric enthalpy
(see e.g. https://aiida-vibroscopy.readthedocs.io/).

Hello Maria, PAW os a generalisation of USPP, and it is not implement either.
Kind regards

    Dear QE Members,

    I have been trying to calculate the dielectric constant for my
    system (Pr2O2SO4) using epsilon.x.
    First I performed a self consistent field calculation with the input
    below and then when I performed the epsilon.x calculation it crashes
    and the error reported below comes up:

      
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
          Error in routine grid_build (1):
          USPP are not implemented
      
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    I am making this question cause my pseudopotential are not USPP and
    I am not understanding if I need to use a specific type of
    pseudopotentials to compute the dielectric constant.

    As presented below, the pseudopotentials that I used are:
       Pr   Pr.pbe-spdfn-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF
       O    O.pbe-n-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF
