ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear colleges,

I am trying to calculate the lattice parameters of a europium and holmium oxide mixture. However, it has been difficult to optimize the structures using the europium and holmium pseudopotentials. I read that using GGA and the PAW of these elements this task could be easy; however, tested europium and holmium PAWs are not available in the abinit site. Someone could tell me how to get them?

Best regards
Javier Pérez

It may be that these have not been made, have you tried to make them yourself? The abinit web site gives a lot of information for how to make PAW atomic data sets, it's not particularly easy to learn but it's not impossible either--
