Dear Fabien,

I explained to Shamik that the structure he was using was not correct.

I also sent cif and struct file.

See below a proper case.struct file.

Shamik could you please send email only to the wienlist to avoid multiple answers from the list and many people trying to help you without having all the details?

Using a RKmax above 7 should not lead to completely wrong results. One important point is how the lattice constants a and c were varied. In a meaningful way?

Dear Dr. Tran,

                  I have used both plain GGA & nlvdw independently & in both cases the results are same. I have used Rmr*Kmax=9 for nlvdw & 7 for GGA. Do you think moving to larger Rmt*Kmax may solve the problem? I am currently going through the literature you have sent..

with regards,

    At first sight you struct file seems ok, but this is difficult to
    help you without more details. For instance: Which functional have
    you used? Are you keeping the c/a ratio fixed? Have you looked
    into the literature:

    Dear wien2k users,

                                     I am trying to optimize the
    structure of Beta - Sn. However, even after 20% increment of the
    volume there is no sign of energy minima. I am attaching the
    struct file herewith this mail for your consideration.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    with regards,
