[Pw_forum] problem with pseudopotential

[luch001]

Dear Paolo,
 
       Thank you very much for your patient help. I still have some questions:
 
(1)    If I download the pseudopotential (PP) from the http://www.pwscf.org, how can I know the detail of the PP (e.g., Rcut) ? Here is a example of the PP for Ge offered at the website,

My question is how much is Rcut ? 
 
(2)    Take NaCl as an example, the overlap of the pseudo core is that the sum of the radius of Na and Cl is larger than the bond length between the Na and Cl. Is my comprehension of overlap right ?  I have seen that the overlap do not too much somewhere. Does this mean a bit overlap is permitted ?  Overlapping to what extent will lead to unreliable results ?
 
Regards
