Greetings!
I am calculating CeO2 surfaces with oxygen vacancies. Is it possible to use Ce_3 pseudopotential for the neighboring atoms of the vacancy and Ce pseudopotential for the rest of Ce atoms in the cell?
How can I differentiate Ce_3 from Ce atoms in the POSCAR file?
Thank you very much

Re: Using different pseudopotentials for the same element
You have to provide the number and order of different elements in the POSCAR file:

You have to provide a POTCAR file for each element and concatenate them into one final POTCAR file.
The POTCAR files of each element can be any.
