[Ape-users] reproducing pseudopotentials from octopus generator

Dear APE users,

I've been using pseudopotentials generated by the octopus web generator previously. So i've been attempting to reproduce the same pseudopotentials for gold using APE. I was wondering what the values in the 4th line of the .psf file represent?

In my Octopus generated pseudopotential the top of the file reads:

 Au ca rel nc  
 ATM3       9-JUN-05 Troullier-Martins                       
 6s 1.00r r= 2.24/6p 0.00r r= 2.24/5d10.00r r= 2.32/5f 0.00r r= 1.48/  
   4  3 1212  0.313766098312E-04  0.125000000000E-01   11.0000000000    
 Radial grid follows
 
and for my APE generated pseudopotential:

 Au ca rel nc  
 APE Version-1.1.1   2011/11/16                              
 6s 1.00  r= 2.24/6p 0.00  r= 2.24/5d10.00  r= 2.32/5f 0.00  r= 1.48/  
   4  3 1212        0.0000069143        0.0143592262       11.0000000000
 Radial grid follows

I'm getting a significant difference in my results between the two calculations, and so I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the pseudopotentials so I can understand it.

Thanks,
Bob Burgess
