Dear Ehsan targholi,
In general no: You should have exactly the same pseudo potential for
both. Then there could still remain other potential, numerical sources for
differences (treatment of the evaluation of exchange-correlation, basis
set, ...), but those would be much smaller.
Thus, most likely there is no way to compare directly, unless you know
how to generate specific pseudo potentials for Dmol3 (or even more
miraculously, that it would read the pseudo potentials in the UPF format).
Another note is maybe in place here, the localised basis sets usually
depend on the pseudo potential used (if any, namely in all-electron
treatment the potential is and remains -Z/r); in the case of plane wave
basis it is sufficient to change the cut-off energy, in case needed to
achieve good convergence with respect to the basis set.
Greetings,
apsi

thanks a lot for your proper answer. my notion of your answer is that if i
change the all-electron trearment to pseudo potential treatment in Dmol3, it
give the same energy with ESPRESSO. is it true?
best regards

Dear Ehsan targholi,
Keyword here is "pseudo potential" (QE), versus (probably)
all-electron calculation in Dmol3. In practise one is almost
always interested in energy differences between different
systems but the same approach, and thus total energies never
appear there.

hi to every one
Dear all
i have a serious problem. when i performed the
attached input calculation
with ESPRESSO, i gave the total energy equal to
-71.43856899 Ry that is very
different with output of Dmol3 software that gave
the total energy equal to
-210.165297Ha ( -420.330 594 Rydberg [Ry]).
the same calculation input has been used for both
software.
I am quite confused.
best regard
Ehsan targholi
