.cpi file format

The units used are Bohr for length and Hartree for energy.

LineColumn Description

1 1Zion number of valence electrons.
2lmax + 1number of pseudopotential components.

repeat line for i = 1...10

i+1 - -unused (more details at FHI98md)

repeat block for l = 0...lmax, n = 12

l(mmax + 1) + n 1mmax number of radial mesh points
2amesh mesh multiplicative increment (rn + 1 = ameshrn)

repeat line for m = 1...mmax

l(mmax + 1) + n + m 1mradial mesh index
2rmradial coordinate (in bohr)
3u_l^{ps}(\epsilon_l^{ps};r_m)radial pseudo wavefunction, normalized as \int_0^{\infty}\vert{}u_l^{ps}(r)\vert{}^2dr=1
4V_l^{ps}(r_m)ionic pseudopotential (in hartree)
only if using nonlinear core-valence exchange-correlation with a partial core.

repeat line for m = 1...mmax, k = (lmax + 1)(mmax + 1) + n − 1

k + m 1rmradial coordinate (in bohr)
2ρcore(rm)partial core density, normalized as \int_0^{\infty}r^2\rho^{core}(r)dr=N^{core}
3 first radial derivative
