it appears that B0 should be around 40-50 GPa. However, I am obtaining a value of 5 GPa

The obtained values of volume (where V=a^2*c) and total energy are:

Vol (ang^3)  Total energy (eV)
28.640500    -89.84334
33.836204    -89.93096

So, I put those numbers into a file mgh2.dat and run ~/q-e/bin/ev.x:

     Lattice parameter or Volume are in (au, Ang) > Ang
     Assuming Angstrom
     Enter type of bravais lattice (fcc, bcc, sc, noncubic) > noncubic

     Input file > mgh2.dat
 Minimization succeeded
     Output file > mgh2.dat
     Beware: file mgh2.dat will be overwritten

The contents of file 'mgh2.dat':

The bulk modulus (k0) seems to be around 75 GPa

According to literature, the total energy should be around -17.822 eV

The total energy in a pseudopotential calculation depends upon the pseudopotential

Paolo

after optimization. However, my values are around -89 eV (-6.61 Ry). I cannot find where the problem lies. I have verified that ecutwfc, ecutrho, and the k-points are converged. I can’t think of what else to do. Could someone please verify the total energy of this structure or guide me on where the issue might be?

Thank you in advance!
