Dear Abraham,

Thanks for you reply. I am trying to take a look of oxygen ion diffusion
inside of LaMnO3 bulk.
For the PP you mentioned in PWSCF library, I tried to download and run
it. However, it looks like the format is not recognized by CPMD. I did a
very simple test for O only, the input and output are as following:
