Hi, Dear Gui Wei, Using the PBE functional, the lattice constant of bcc Fe is supposed to be smaller than experimental value.Please take a look at https://molmod.ugent.be/deltacodesdft. Wien2K gives 2.831 A. PSlib and GBRV give some value around 2.834.And, PBE

cutoff might be too small for a reliable computation of the stress. other than that I see no big issue in your input stefano On 25/12/18 04:35, Gui Wei wrote: Hi, When optimizing the lattice constant of bcc Fe,the result is a=2.830A, which is in disagreement with experimentally derived
