[Pw_forum] Help for converting castep's pseudopotential file to pwscf' file format

[Jonathan Breeze]

Please note that there is also an academic distribution of CASTEP which is 
free (no cost!) to academic instutions under an agreement between the UK C-P 
consortium, Accelrys (MSI) and Daresbury laboratory UK (enquiries to 
ukpc at dl.ac.uk).  
The most recent version (3.02) comes with a pseudopotential generator written 
by Victor Milman of MSI (vmilman at msi.com) which uses David Vanderbilt's 
ultrasoft pp generation code.  Since there are utilities to convert Dave 
Vanderbilts potentials to PWSCF UPF format also, you could generate 
essentially the same potentials for both CASTEP and PWSCF if you were so 
inclined.  This way I'm sure you won't be violating any licensing rules.

Regards,
Jonathan
