Here is a cif file. You can see that Sn is on a Wyckoff position 4a, which means that you have 4 equivalent positions in the space group I 41/a m d. In WIEN2k, it leads to a case.struct file having only 2 equivalent positions, because only the positions in the primitive cell are shown in the

A suggestion is to put in the struct file the PBE lattice constant?s from the paper (after conversion in bohr), and then use option [5] of "x optimize". If you do not see some minimum (use only PBE without vdW), then something else is wrong in your files.

Your struct file is wrong. It corresponds to HfO and not HfO2. This cif file http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/download.php?id=17372.cif=cif ?should be your structure. Use the command cif2struct to generate struct file. From: Wien on behalf of Arvind Kumar

Dear SIr/Madam, Thanks for valuable information. You are right, these lattice constants are in Å. I again corrected my struct file. I am generating this from directly putting the constant in the StructGen option of the Wien2K. I have only doubt that in the formula of HfO2, there is one Hf and two

Using a RKmax above 7 should not lead to completely wrong results. One important point is how the lattice constants a and c were varied. In a meaningful way? From: Wien on behalf of shamik chakrabarti Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2020 8:40 PM To: A Mailing list

Dear Dr. Tran, I have used both plain GGA & nlvdw independently & in both cases the results are same. I have used Rmr*Kmax=9 for nlvdw & 7 for GGA. Do you think moving to larger Rmt*Kmax may solve the problem? I am currently going through the literature you have sent.. with

At first sight you struct file seems ok, but this is difficult to help you without more details. For instance: Which functional have you used? Are you keeping the c/a ratio fixed? Have you looked into the literature: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.4948434
