Dear Mahdi,

tstress=.true. prints the Cauchy stress. It is the internal instantaneous 
stress from the Calculation. The other stresses are two-point stresses e.g. 
relative to some initial and final configurations (for deformations).


The  quantum mechanical stresses are the internal stresses at the very cell 
parameters and Volume of the SCF calculation. They correspond basically to the 
expansion parameters of the total energy with respect to infinitesimal 
deformations.

Dear all,

I know If I set tstress=.true. the stress tensor will be computed and
printed. but What's the kind of the Stress Tensor QE dose print? for
example Cauchy,
   true, Kirchhoff, PK2, ...
I am trying to calculate second Piola-Kirchhoff (PK2) stresses with QE.
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Sincerely
Mahdi
