Norm-Conserving Pseudopotentials
TLDR
In this article, a simple procedure to extract pseudopotentials from ab initio atomic calculations is presented, which yield exact eigenvalues and nodeless eigenfunctions which agree with atomic wave functions beyond a chosen radius.Abstract:
A very simple procedure to extract pseudopotentials from ab initio atomic calculations is presented. The pseudopotentials yield exact eigenvalues and nodeless eigenfunctions which agree with atomic wave functions beyond a chosen radius ${\mathcal{r}}_{c}$. Moreover, logarithmic derivatives of real and pseudo wave functions and their first energy derivatives agree for $\mathcal{r}g{\mathcal{r}}_{c}$ guaranteeing excellent transferability of the pseudopotentials.read more

TL;DR: QUANTUM ESPRESSO as discussed by the authors is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave).

TL;DR: Only the alternating pattern of single-double carbon bonds within the sp2 carbon ribbons provides a satisfactory explanation for the experimentally observed blue shift of the G band of the Raman spectra relative to graphite.
