</div>You should estimate it by yourself what is the best PP for your model,<br>
but in my opinion I often use ultrasolf PP for surface models than<br>
others because it results close experiment's one.<br>
If you use Ultrasolf PP, you should find also Ultrasolf PP for other<br>
kinds of atom.<br><br></blockquote><br></div>I don't think it is the question of ultrasoft vs norm conserving. Rather it is which exchange correlation functional one should use.....I don't have any experience regarding MnSe passivated with H, however only for Se I found GGA works quite well at least for predicting structural properties<br>
<br>you should make sure that for all the elements you should use the same exchange correlation functional......u can mix ultrasoft PP with a norm conserving one.<br><br>With regards,<br>Prasenjit. <br><br clear="all"><br>
