This is the distribution of the ld1 code for electronic structure
atomic calculations and pseudo-potentials generation.
- the LD1 package, mantained by Andrea Dal Corso (SISSA, Trieste)
is the result of several additions to the original
P. Giannozzi ld1 code for pseudopotentials generation.
(See http://www.sns.it/~giannozz/software.html)
- Two new features are implemented:
a) Generation and test of norm-conserving and ultrasoft
pseudo-potentials with the RRKJ3 recipe.
b) Generation of fully relativistic pseudo-potentials including
spin-orbit coupling.
- Some features, present in the pseudo-potential code of P. Giannozzi, are
not available in this package. The most relevant missing feature
is the possibility to generate pseudo-potentials with the
TM recipe. (This will hopefully change in the next releases of the ld1 code).
Input variables are described in file INPUT_LD1.
Directories all-electron/, pseudo-gen/, pseudo-test/,
contain tests for the three modes of operation, respectively:
all-electron run, pseudo-potential generation, pseudo-potential testing.
