Articles on the PAW formalism
-----------------------------

The original article introducing the PAW formalism:
   | P. E. Blöchl
   | :doi:`Projector augmented-wave method <10.1103/PhysRevB.50.17953>`
   | Physical Review B, Vol. **50**, 17953, 1994

A different formulation of PAW by Kresse and Joubert designed to make the transition from USPP to PAW easy.
  | G. Kresse and D. Joubert
  | :doi:`From ultrasoft pseudopotentials to the projector augmented-wave method <10.1103/PhysRevB.59.1758>`
  | Physical Review B, Vol. **59**, 1758, 1999

A second, more pedagogical, article on PAW by Blöchl and co-workers.
  | P. E. Blöchl, C. J. Först, and J. Schimpl
  | :doi:`Projector Augmented Wave Method: ab-initio molecular dynamics with full wave functions <10.1007/BF02712785>`
  | Bulletin of Materials Science, Vol. **26**, 33, 2003
