(2/29, 2016)Pseudopotential data of Mn (using 1.00 0.50 0.50 for Non-PCC version) is "MNKBB.DAT". MNKBA.DAT (using "1.75 0.75 0.50" [No Warranty]) is for comparison with MNKBB.DAT.
(2/16, 2016)We have found the problem of data files in NCPS as follows. As for Ar,Ar_pcc,Ba_pcc,Ca,Ca_3p,Kr,Kr_3d,Mg_pcc,Ne,Rn_5d,Rn_pcc,S,S_TM,Sr_4p,Xe,Xe_4d(Name of directory), these pseudopotential data are s, p, d(non-local).
For example, although there is NETMD.DAT in the Ne directory, this is not used for the electronic structure calculation.
In other cases, CUD.DAT (an example of local pseudopotential data) as zero-byte data is not used (dummy data) because non-local pseudopotential data of Cu consist of s, p and d parts (not used CUD.DAT).

(3/12, 2015)Modified Mg pseudopotential(pcc, TM) has been constructed. The lattice mismatch of the TiN(001)/MgO(001) interface is improved from 3.7 % to 1.4 % by using this pseudopotential. It is possible to download new Mg pseudopotential [No Warranty] at NCPS2K,NCPS2K+ [page].
(7/1, 2013)P pseudopotential(TM) has been constructed. It is possible to download new P pseudopotential [No Warranty] at NCPS2K,NCPS2K+ [page].
(2/20, 2013)Mg pseudopotential(TM) with PCC has a ghost band at about 15 eV above the Fermi level. An influence on calculational results using this pseudopotential is small because the ghost band is at more than 1 Ry above the Fermi level. At present, we try to construct new Mg pseudopotential without ghost bannds.
(7/3, 2012)W pseudopotential(TM) with PCC has been modified in order to avoid a ghost band above at about 10 eV above the Fermi level. We succeed to construct modified W pseudopotential with PCC and without the ghost band.
I wish to acknowledge Dr. Suehara's suggestion about the ghost band.

(10/26, 2007)Re pseudopotential had a problem. The author is constructing updated and modified Re pseudopotential (with PCC) at present. The old and problematic Re pseudopotential will be replaced by new Re pseudopotential soon. Therefore, Please do not use old problematic Re pseudopotential.
Hg pseudopotential is problematic at present.
(4/26, 2007)It is possible to construct pseudopotentials with various conditions (cutoff radius, LDA types, with/without PCC, etc.). However, it is impossible to translate the data format of NCPS pseudopotentials into those of other packages at present.
(11/29, 2006)The distribution of NCPS2K CD-R is available at present.
(11/28, 2006)The distribution of NCPS2K CD-R will start soon.
(10/30, 2006)At present, it is impossible to send CD-R until the end of November, 2006 (August -> october -> november: postponed, 10/30, 2006).
(8/4, 2006)Please pay attention to treat compounds which use both s,p non-local and s,p,d non-local pseudopotentials. There is a possibility of some bugs in electronic structure calculation codes because a treatment of local pseudopotential with s,p non-local PS is different from that with s,p,d non-local PS.
(7/5, 2006)Hg and Re pseudopotentials had a problem. Updated and modified Hg and Re pseudopotentials (with PCC) will be constructed. The old and problematic Hg and Re pseudopotentials will be replaced by new Hg and Re pseudopotentials. Therefore, Please do not use these problematic Hg and Re pseudopotentials.

(2/18, 2005)New B pseudopotential is constructed as the cutoff radius is 1.25 a.u., and LDA type of von-Barth and Hedin. In old version, the cutoff radius is 1.75 a.u., and LDA type of Wigner. There are no discripancies of electronic and lattice properties using both pseudopotentials in test calculations.
(1/14, 2005)Os pseudopotential had a problem. Updated and modified Os pseudopotential (with PCC) has been constructed. The old and problematic Os pseudopotential is replaced by new Os pseudopotential. Therefore, Please do not use old problematic Os pseudopotential.
(8/20, 2003)asse is available to use NCPS2K.
"asse" is the package of the electronic structure calculation using norm-conserving pseudopotentials (available for NCPS2K, 8/26, 2003).

To construct new version pseudopotentials
considered a partial core correction(PCC) for 3d, 4d and 5d transition
metal.
New pseudopotentials(11/6, 1996, Update 3/26,
1998) [Head]
At present(3/26, 1998), the author finds that some pseudopotentials
of transition metals have ghost bands above the Fermi energy.
If a position of the ghost band is enough higher than that of the
Fermi energy over about 1 Ry, it is possible to neglect an effect of
ghost bands.
For a case of less than 1 Ry, it is necessary to reconstruct and
test new pseudopotentials.
More detailed imformations will be uploaded here as soon as
possible.
Already(6/30,1998), most pseudopotentials of transition metals have
been modified and avoid ghost bands, and to check lattice properties
at present.
Most pseudopotentials of transition and noble metals with PCC are
modified to remove ghost bands at present(12/8, 1998), and add new
parameters to the below list.
For NCPS95,97,2K users, if you have a plan to use the
pseudopotentials of transition or noble metals, Please contact me (kobayashi.kazuaki-@-nims.go.jp[Please replace
"-@-" with "@" for against spam-mail at 13. June, 2003.]).
Pseudopotentials for F(8/4, 1997),Cl,Br,Au,Ir,Po,Pt,Ta,W are
prepared now.
Only Cl is constructed as a BHS type. The other is constructed as a
TM type. Pseudopotentials for d are treated as local for F,Cl and Br.
In the other pseudopotentials, Vcore(r) is a local pseudopotential(s,p
and d are non-local).
Al(TM type) is constructed at 3/23(1998).
Parameters and pseudopotential data of Bi,Cs,Hf,Hg,Os,Pb,Re and Tl
are appended(3/25, 1997).
Parameters of Vcore(r) for 5d transition metals with PCC are
tabulated as follows(7/29, 1998).
Parameters of Vcore(r) for F are the same of BHS.
As for F,Cl and Br, d parts including Vcore parts are local.
Parameters for Vcore(r) are as follows.

- (1/31, 2003)[Summary of 1/24, 2003 problem]
- (No Problem when Ecut = 25 Ry)
Rh, Sc, Ti, Zr, Hg, Y, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ag, V, Cd, Ru, Tc, Po, Ta, Ir,

Cu, Ni(49 Ry > ), Zn, Cr(Slightly), Co(49 Ry > ), Fe(49 Ry
> ), Mn(Slightly), Pd(Slightly, Gamma point), Bi(10 eV >,
5d)
"10 eV > Ef": There is a problem for the electronic band
structure at about 10 eV above the Fermi level.
"Slightly": Problem is not serious.
"49 Ry > ": There is no problem when Ecut = 49 Ry.
- (1/24, 2003)At present, pseudopotentials of Rh, Ti, Sc (NCPS2K)
are investigated in 25 Ry and 89 k-points as fcc and there are no
anomaly of band structures (Continue investigations. <-- This may
not be a serious problem.).
- (1/23, 2003)In NCPS2K pseudopotentials for 3d transition metals
(include Cu), it should be noted that it is necessary to be more than
60 - 70 Ry of the energy cutoff (Ecut) in order to give correct band
structures and electronic propertties, etc.
It is found that the electronic band structure of Cu when Ecut = 25
Ry is not correct (Continue investigations at present).
- (11/2, 2001)NCPS2K is available for a trial version at present.
- (6/27, 2001)NCPS2K is still preparing at present. More detailed
information will be announced here.
- (5/26, 2000)The problem of (5/15, 2000) has been solved
(Modified data).
- (5/15, 2000)The author found the data on NCPS95,97 CD-R have a
problem.
The problem is that a local potential is dummy in a case of s, p, d
non-local case for NCPS. In this case, a d local potential is dummy (No
data) file and Vcore(r) is only the local potential.
But in some cases, the d local potential is not dummy in spite of s,
p, d non-local. Using this local potential data may lead to incorrect
electronic structure calculational results.
Please delete the local potentials on the following elements of
directories,
/ps/ps_database5:K,K_3p,Ca,Al_TM,Al_pcc_TM,Ga,
/ps/buff/:Cs.
- (1/4, 2000)NCPS2K is not prepared.
- (11/17, 1999)NCPS97 will be updated to NCPS2K(tentative name,
Year 2000 version) by 3/31, 2001(the end of the financial period of
year 2000 in Japan).
- (11/9, 1999)Any program packages (codes) are not recorded in
CD-R.
- (10/20, 1999)It is found that there is an error of input
parameter(cutoff radius) for hydrogen. A web [page]
as for this input parameter has already been modified.
- At present(10/1, 1999), pseudopotentials for Br, Pd, Ti and Zn
have a problem as for constructing local parts of them. The author is
checking whether this problem is serious or not in the electronic
structure calculation using above pseudopotentials(Br, Pd, Ti and
Zn).
- (3/3,2000)As for Ti, there are no problems to use it.
