ZVAL = [real]

Description: ZVAL states the valency of the pseudopotential.

The values of ZVAL for all species are read from the POTCAR file and printed as a list to the OUTCAR file.

The tables on the Available pseudopotentials page show the corresponding electronic valence configurations of all available potentials.
