Pseudopotential generation - Disclaimer

The shroud of mystery that has been hovering above computational condensed matter physicists over three decades..
The black magic, the art, the secret only a few wise elders are bestowed upon..
If you listen carefully you can hear them chanting ancient "local potential" rituals in their dark offices during the night..With the rise of the new prophet, his name not to be spoken even in whispers, elders of pseudopotential society are heard uttering even more mysterious words "PAW", "compensation charges"..

If you want to learn about this sorcery, young one, you need to be cautious yet persistent, as once these gates are opened, hope despairs.

Here are the first scripts that you shall follow:

1.Norm conserving pseudopotentials, roots of this ancient magic, a rigorous introduction by a meticulous mage..
2.Introduction to ultrasoft and PAW formalism by a young yet wise apprentice, he is heard to have moved on to greener pastures since the writing of this script.
3.Introduction to ultrasoft and PAW formalism: How do we do things in the dark side? They have cookies.
4.Pseudopotential generation: Brief of Fundamentals and a Practical Guide by the one who is rumored to know it all..
