Hi, Looking at the total energy is maybe not the most appropriate way when optimizing R_{MT}*K_{max}, etc. It is better to monitor the value of the properties (lattice constant, magnetic moment, ...) that you will show in your paper. RmtKmax=10 is in 99% of the cases large enough.

The values of these parameters are optimized to be 6000, 13 and 12, respectively, as shown at the end of this e-mail. But, we know for the most compounds the 7 or 8 is used for the R_{MT}*K_{max}. As you see, our optimized value, 12 is much larger than 7. Please, notice that we have first optimized the k-points using the default values of the other parameters and then using our optimized number of k-points, tried to optimize the other parameters. We see that most of the people in their papers only report their optimized number of k-points using the default valuses of RmtKmax (7). But, we see that the effects of the RmtKmax is larger than the number of k-points in this Gd case. Is such a large RmtKmax (12) really necessary for the Gd compound? Thank you for any reply and comment in this respect. kpoint : 6000 GMAX:12.0 Rmt*Kmax ENE(GGA) ENE(LDA) 6 -22560.4325 -22545.3363 7 -22560.5294 -22545.4366 8 -22560.5629 -22545.4694 9 -22560.5740 -22545.4806 10 -22560.5772 -22545.4836 11 -22560.5780 -22545.4843 12 -22560.5782 -22545.4845 13 -22560.5782 -22545.4846 14 -22560.5782 -22545.4846
