Pseudo-Potential Mixinxg Suppose we want to calculate an alloy, for example, $InSb_{x}As_{1-x}$.
We can generate a mixed pseudopotential of $Sb$ and $As$ in the following way:
$Sb_x + As_{1-x}$ norm-conserving pseudo-potential (ONCV case), follow the below instruction.
Keep ready the original pseudopotentials of $Sb$ and $As$.
mkdir mixed-pseudo cd mixed-pseudo git clone https://github.com/pipidog/ONCVPSP.git cd ONCVPSP/sg15 [Optional] For the first time, go to the Quantum Espresso parent (installation) directory and execute</description></item><item><title>Trip to Tomorrowland (Belgium)</title><link>/gallery/2022_tomorrowland_be/</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/gallery/2022_tomorrowland_be/</guid><description>Here are some photos from the Tomorrowland (Belgium) electronic music festival (2022).

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
