| I performed a series of single point energy calculations on an FCC crystal by

| the lattice constant
| 
| I was expecting the force on each atom to zero by virtue of crystalline 
symmetry
| (no internal degree of freedom). But to my surprise, the forces are not zero.
| Increasing the Mesh cutoff from 300 Ry to higher values didn't help either. 
How
| is it possible for the atomic forces in a crystal to be non-zero?
