Dear users I tried to vc-relax the CsSnCl3 monoclinic structure using GGA PBE pseudo potential, and I got an error of about 8.5% in the b-axis. If I use the grimme-D3 method, the error will be reduced to 2~3%. Is it possible to get an error of 8.5% with GGA PBE error alone? Moreover, I understand that CsSnCl3 is not a strong van der Waals material.
