PSlibrary is a library of inputs for the ld1.x atomic code of the Quantum ESPRESSO package. It allows the generation of scalar relativistic and fully relativistic PAW data sets and ultrasoft pseudopotentials for many elements.

Several tests of pslibrary are appearing in the literature and on the web. See for instance:
