Deal Axel:
     Thanks for your kindly reply. I'm not clear about how to generate HSE
pseudopotentials directly or indirectly. The paper [PRB 74 121102(R)]
demonstrated that the HSE functonal can enable accurate computations on
defects in Si in compariation with tradtiona DFT (i.e. LDA, PW91, PBE).
Therefore, I want to reproduce their results within Q-E and hope it could
solve my calculation problems.
    As your comment, the paper said "The HSE functional mixes in a fraction
(25%) of exact screened Hartree-Fock exchange as done in the PBE hybird
(PBEh) funcitonal. The key difference in the HSE, relative to the PBEh
functional, is that the exact exchange term is screened at large distances,
effectively giving a hybird functional only at short range and GGA behaivor
at long range." Their HSE calculations are carried out using GAUSSIAN. But I
have no idea to reproduce their results within Q-E. Would you like to give
me some indications on the problem? And would you so kindly to share your Si
PBE0 pseudopotential with me if you have one?
    Thanks for your reply again.
    Best regards!
