主题: [QE-users] [SUSPECT ATTACHMENT REMOVED] vc-relax changes thelattice 
constants too much

Hi experts,
         I came across a problem when I was doing variable-cell relaxations for 
the metal Gallium. 
1)  I started the relaxations using the experimental structure.
2)  I chose the PBE xc functional and the Dojo-ONCV pseudopotential. 
3)  As the attached log files show, after several ionic steps, the b axis is 
shorten by near 0.8 angstrom and at the same time, the c axis is lengthen by 
near 0.6 angstrom.  
4)  I’ve tried to increase the ecutwfc to 130 Ry, but it didn’t improve at all.
5)  I tried to use the ultrasoft pseudopotential, but things were not getting 
better.
6)  I also used VASP to do the same thing and VASP gives the optimized lattice 
constants very similar to the experimental ones.
I’m very confused. Look forward to any suggestions and helps!

Thanks!

Bet wishes,
Xiaowei
