Hello Marzieh,

I took the freedomn to use your data to test a little fitting procedure I just wrote. I tried to fit parameters a, b, c of the function
y=a(x-b)**2+c
to your data.

The fit crashed - probably like the one you may have used - when presented the data and asked to fit the parabola from scratch. The reason for such a behaviour of a fit procedure frequently is bad user behaviour: The program is quite understandably unable to guess reasonable starting values for the fit parameters from such data.

Presented with starting values
a=1.000000e-06,   b=9.500000e+03,  c=-8.857000e+04

the fit finds without complaining a very good fit with
a=5.687893e-07,  b=9.612186e+03,  c=-8.856770e+04

So you should do your DFT volume optimization around a volume of 9612 - and probably give a little thought to the problem of why you started so far off the optimum at larger volumes.

Good luck

Dear Prof.Blaha & Tran

I have calculated optimization of supercell (1*1*2). But Energy vs
Volume is linear!

case.outputeos:

   10575.3364   -88567.151612   
    11162.8553   -88566.366642    
    12925.4112   -88561.471064   
    11750.3745   -88565.095045   
    12337.8929   -88563.437182    

Is this normal?  If no what is reason? What do I do?

Please help me

Best Regards
