"description": "Despite the enormous success and popularity of density functional theory, systematic verification and validation studies are still very limited both in number and scope. Here, we propose a universal standard protocol to verify publicly available pseudopotential libraries, based on several independent criteria including verification against all-electron equations of state and plane-wave convergence tests for phonon frequencies, band structure, cohesive energy and pressure. Adopting these criteria we obtain two optimal pseudopotential sets, namely the Standard Solid State Pseudopotential (SSSP) efficiency and precision libraries, tailored for high-throughput materials screening and high-precision materials modelling. As of today, the SSSP precision library is the most accurate open-source pseudopotential library available. This archive entry contains the database of calculations (phonons, cohesive energy, equation of state, band structure, pressure, etc.) together with the provenance of all data and calculations as stored by AiiDA.\n\n*** UPDATE November 2020 *** \nThe AiiDA export files contained in the sssp.tar archive have been modified and migrated to version format 0.9 in order to be imported in AiiDA 1.2.0 and later versions. The modifications are detailed in the README.md file in the sssp.tar archive.\nThe AiiDA export files contained in the sssp_bands.tar archive have been migrated to version format 0.9 as well.\n\n*** UPDATE April 2021 - Version 1.1.1 ***\nThe PBEsol pseudopotential files contained unescaped \"&\" characters. In this update, the files concerned have been fixed escaping the \"&\" characters contained in PP_INPUTFILE blocks.\n\n*** UPDATE May 2021 - Version 1.1.2 ***\nFor compatibility issues, the mesh_size in the header of the pseudopotential files has been changed to be the same as the mesh value. These issues affected the pseudopotential files for the lanthanides.\nNote that, starting from this version, for each minor version only the files of the corresponding latest patch version are provided. The files of the previous patch versions (i.e. 1.1, 1.1.1) can be retrieved from the previous versions of this record.\nNote also that the AiiDA export archives of the different SSSP configurations are not provided any more. In order to use the SSSP configurations in AiiDA, it is recommended instead to install them through the aiida-pseudo package (https://aiida-pseudo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).\nu\n*** UPDATE Nov 2022 - Version 1.2 *** \nThe PBE pseudopotentials for the Lanthanides (precision and efficiency) are regenerated with ATOMPAW-4.2.0.2. This 1) provides orbital labels for all the pseudo-wavefunctions (required by +U calculations), and 2) alleviates convergence issues related to negative pseudo-charge densities in ultrasoft/PAW potentials (La/Ce pseudopotentials are generated with adapted inputs courtesy of Simon Pintarelli (https://github.com/simonpintarelli/mineralscloud_paw_rccore)).\nIn the SSSP precision PBE library, the choices for 14 pseudopotentials (Na, Cu, Cs, Ca, Ba, As, Te, I, Hg, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn) are updated after taking into consideration the equation-of-state results for oxides (X2O, X2O3, X2O5, XO, XO2, XO3) and uninaries (BCC, FCC, SC, Diamond) compared to the all-electron solution from WIEN2K. \nThe SSSP efficiency and SSSP precision pseudopotentials for Cu both are replaced by the pseudopotential from the pslibrary 1.0.0 low acc as proposed in v1.2.0 beta.\nThe SSSP precision pseudopotential for Ba is replaced by the pseudopotential from pseudo-dojo library name as Ba.nc.z_10.oncvpsp4.dojo.v4-sp.upf.\nFor elements Na, Cs, Ca, As, Te, Hg, I, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn, the SSSP precision pseudopotentials are replaced by the pseudopotentials with different recommended choices without changing.\n\nThe AiiDA export files are contained in the sssp-infos.aiida archive has been modified from sssp.tar and migrated to storage schema version \u201cmain_0001\u201d in order to be imported in AiiDA 2.0.2 and later versions. The modifications are detailed in the README.md file in the sssp-infos.aiida archive.\nThe AiiDA export files are contained in the sssp-bands.aiida archive has been migrated to storage schema version \u201cmain_0001\u201d as well.\n\n*** UPDATE Mar 2023 - Version 1.2.1 ***\nThe precision libraries for Iridium (Ir) have been updated with the latest pseudopotential from Pslibrary accuracy 1.0.0 US. It should be noted that the original Ir pseudopotential from the GBRV library contains a ghost state at 10eV. Despite this, the efficiency libraries continue to utilize the GBRV pseudopotential, therefore users relying on this pseudopotential should exercise caution.",
