Introduction

Through this interface, you can access the pseudopotentials and the accompanying basis sets presented in our publications:

and

Energy-consistent small-core pseudopotentials for 3d-transition metals adapted to quantum Monte Carlo calculations,
J. Chem. Phys. 129, 164115 (2008)

These pseudopotentials are scalar-relativistic energy-consistent Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials, which do not exhibit a singularity at the nucleus and are specifically constructed for the use in quantum Monte Carlo calculations - although they can of course be used for other approaches as well. Their performance is discussed in detail in the paper above.

To select a pseudopotential, you will be guided through a 3-step procedure. First, you select the element, then the basis and, finally, the format. Three formats are available for a Gaussian, a Gamess and a Molpro input. If you are not familiar with any of these formats, you can find additional information in the EPAPS material of our paper.
