Dear Karima,
I generally do the followings;
(1) Simultaneous optimization of volume (with a:b:c constant) & atomic
coordinates. The a,b,c can be calculated from the relation V=abcSin (Gamma)
(2) I take the optimized struct file (which is nearest to minima) & change
the a,b,c from the calculation from the relation V = abc Sin (Gamma)
(3) I take the optimized struct file as obtained from the previous
calculation & feed them as input for the next calculation with 4D
optimization (of course with simultaneous optimization of atomic
coordinates & a,b,c, Gamma)
(4) After optimization, I took the struct file which is nearest to the
minima (*some times I get an optimized structure just at the minima*). The
a,b,c, Gamma nearest to the minima should give an approximate value closest
to the ground state lattice parameter & Gamma.
(5) If required I run another force optimization with this optimized struct
file (however, the last step is merely required as for most of the cases I
get the force minima just at the first struct file)
Hope this helps.
Dear Experts, please correct me if I am wrong..
with regards,
