Available pseudopotentials: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:54, 12 June 2024

Pseudopotentials are stored in POTCAR files and are available for all elements in the periodic table from the VASP Portal. The available pseudopotentials are mostly so-called PAW potentials that are based on the projector-augmented-wave (PAW) method^[1]. The PAW potentials have been created following the recipes discussed in Ref. ^[2]. Cite Ref. ^[1] and Ref. ^[2] when using any PAW potential.

Guide on recommendations and checks to decide which pseudopotential flavor to use for a specific calculation: Choosing pseudopotentials.

Available pseudopotential sets

The tables list all available pseudopotentials split between

standard potentials: these are intended for treating mostly occupied states and are appropriate for calculations within density-functional theory, and

GW potentials: these are optimized for treating unoccupied states far above the Fermi level and have an _GW suffix. GW potentials are recommended for computing optical properties and calculations within many-body perturbation theory.

The tables comprise the name of the potential, number of valence electrons, valence electron configuration for the reference system, and the cutoff energy (ENMAX).

The bold-highlighted entries are the default recommendations, but depending on the specific calculation, it might be preferable or necessary to choose a different pseudopotential.

Important: Refer to the explanation of different variants to understand the suffix in the name of the potential.

potpaw.64 (latest, recommended)

Updated potentials with respect to the potpaw.54 set:

Li_GW, He_GW: improved accuracy
C_GW_new, N_GW_new, O_GW_new, F_GW_new: more balanced overall
C_h, N_h O_h, F_h: improved accuracy for HF calculation (errors below 0.5 kcal)
N_s_GW: improved accuracy
Rn Rn_d_GW, Rn_sv_GW: mass updated to 220
Ba_sv_GW, Cs_sv, Cs_sv_GW, Cu_sv_GW, Hf_sv_GW: improved accuracy/ ghost-state issues
Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, Nd, Pm, Pr, Sm, Tb, Tm, Yb: lanthanides updated

Newly added potentials:

H_GW_new, B_GW_new, B_h_GW, C_s_GW
Dy_h, Er_h, Eu_h, Gd_h, Ho_h, Nd_h, Pm_h, Pr_h, Sm_h, Tb_h, Tm_h, Yb_h

Standard potentials

Standard PAW potentials are appropriate for calculations that mainly involve occupied states, e.g., calculations within density-functional theory without computing optical properties.

potpaw.54

LDA and PBE PAW datasets version 54, including the GW variety (original release 2015-09-04). When read by VASP these files yield identical results as the files distributed before. The POTCAR files, however, differ from previous versions:

the TITLE string is set to the directory in which the POTCAR file reside for: O_GW_new, Ge_GW, G_GW_new, Cd_GW, Br_GW, B_GW.
HASH key added to all POTCAR files.

potpaw.52

PBE and LDA PAW datasets version 52, including early GW variety (snapshot 19-04-2012). When read by VASP these files yield identical results as the files distributed in 2012. The POTCAR files, however, differ from previous versions:

the TITLE string is set to the directory in which the POTCAR file reside for: B_GW Br_GW Cd_GW Cd_pv_GW Cd_sv_GW F_GW_new Ge_GW H_AE Ne_GW_soft O_GW_new Pb_d_GW.
For PBE GW the TITLE string has been updated from PAW to PAW_PBE.
HASH key added to all POTCAR files.

Mind: The C_GW_new, N_GW_new, O_GW_new, and F_GW_new POTCAR files, use the f-pseudopotential as local potential and possess d-projectors. In contrast, the C_GW, N_GW, O_GW, and F_GW POTCAR files use the d-pseudopotential as local potential and possess no d-projectors. Calculations usually converge faster with respect to the energy cutoff ENMAX using the C_GW, N_GW, O_GW, and G_GW potentials. Whether the new potentials possess a precision advantage over the old potentials is not entirely clear. In theory, they should be more precise for correlated wavefunction calculations. However, in practice, the improvements seem modest and often do not justify the greater computational load.

LDA (2010), PW91 (2006) and PBE (2010) PAW potentials

The LDA, PW91 and PBE PAW datasets (snapshot: 05-05-2010, 19-09-2006 and 06-05-2010, respectively). These files are outdated, not supported and only distributed as is. Some VASP feature might yield undesired results with these files (e.g. METAGGA).

LDA & PBE, 5.2 & 5.4 (original univie release version)

Mind: LDA & PBE, 5.2 & 5.4 (original univie release version) potentials are equivalent to the potpaw.52 and potpaw.54 sets, other than some TITLE strings and missing hash keys. Thus, they are not listed explicitly here. Use them only if you need strictly identical files.

Different variants specified by the suffix

For most elements different variants of POTCAR files exist for each element within a specific set (e.g. potpaw_PBE.64). The different POTCAR vartiations are distinguished by their suffixes. Not all variants are available for every element or in all pseudopotential sets.

Suffix	Explanation	Example
_s	This suffix indicates a soft potential, with a larger core radius and a lower requirement for the plane-wave energy cutoff. Although computation time is significantly reduced, transferability and accuracy are compromised to some extent.	The O potential has a core radius of 1.52 atomic units (a.u.) and ENMAX of 400 electron Volts (eV). The O_s potential has a core radius of 1.85 a.u. and a cutoff of 282.9 eV.
_h	This suffix signifies a hard potential, with a smaller core radius and a higher requirement for the plane-wave energy cutoff. Although this type of potentials increases computational cost, it might be required for some systems, particularly when dealing with short bonds. Additionally, hard potentials tend to be more transferable than soft ones.	The O_h potential has a core radius of 1.1 a.u. and ENMAX is set to 765.5 eV.
_pv	Semicore p states are considered valence states. Additionally, these types of potentials are a bit harder. Computational cost increases, but accuracy and transferability as well.	The Ti potential has four valence electrons, two in the 3d shell, and two in the 4s shell. Ti_pv adds six electrons in the 3p shell.
_sv	Semicore p and s states are considered valence states. Additionally, these types of potentials are harder than those without a suffix. Computational cost increases, but accuracy and transferability as well.	Ti_sv adds two more electrons, so now we have a 3s²3p⁶3d²4s² configuration with 12 total electrons
_d	Semicore d states are considered valence states. Additionally these type of potentials are a bit harder. Computational cost increases, but accuracy and transferability as well.	The Ge potential has four valence electrons, two in the 4s shell, and two in the 4p shell. Ge_d adds ten electrons in the 3d shell.
_2 or _3	Pseudopotentials with an integer suffix denote a specific valence state. These potentials are only provided for the Lanthanides. Some 4f electrons for these potentials are put in the frozen core, although they are higher in energy than other valence states. Be careful when using these potentials and read the section about lanthanides with fixed valence beforehand.	The Er potential has 22 valence electrons with the configuration 4f¹²5s²5p⁶6s² and an energy cutoff of ~350 eV. Er_2 has 8 valence electrons with the configuration 5p⁶6s² and a recommended cutoff energy of ~120 eV, while Er_3 has 9 valence electrons and the configuration 5p⁶5d¹6s² and a cutoff of ~155 eV.
_AE	These potentials are only provided for H, He, and Li. They are very hard and contain all electrons (AE). These potentials are optimized to reproduce the wave functions in the atomic core region as well as possible.	Both the He and the HE_AE pseudopotentials contain two electrons, but the _AE variant has an extremely small core radius of 0.6 a.u. (compared to 1.1 a.u. for He), and ENMAX of ~2135 eV, and EAUG of ~2900 eV.
_GW	These potentials are optimized for calculations requiring a large number of unoccupied states well above the Fermi level. This is achieved by using different projectors and taking care to reproduce the all-electron scattering properties for high energies. They are superior for excited-state properties and any calculation considering electron-electron correlation like GW, RPA, BSE, and MP2. There are some results that indicate that the _GW potentials are also more accurate for ground-state-DFT calculations^[3], but the results should be very comparable with the standard potentials in most cases. Note that the _GW suffix is the only one that is often combined with other suffixes.	The Ge and the Ge_GW potential do not differ in core-radius, recommended plane-wave-energy cutoff, or the reference configuration of the atom. However, the partial waves and projector functions used in the generation of the potential are different.
