I do not know if it would be large, but to compare them you need to use compatible systems, and that includes Rmt
Pablo ________________________________ Dear Prof. Delamora, Thank you for your reply. You are right that we should keep Rmt (Li) to 1.66 for both cases. However, my question is whether such a small difference in Rmt of 0.06 would influence total energy in a considerable way? with regards, On Sun, 26 Jun 2022 at 06:30, delamora <delam...@unam.mx<mailto:delam...@unam.mx>> wrote: I would assume that if you want to compare these 2 systems in energy then you need to use the same Rmt in both systems, and it would be with 1.66, otherwise I assume that in the secont system (after Li extracction) the spheres will overlap if 1.72 is used. Now, if you have different # of atoms in each system then I cannot see how you can compare these systems. Pablo ________________________________ Dear Prof. Blaha, In a lithium-based compound, I have Rmt(Li)=1.72 while after extraction of 1-mole lithium the Rmt of the rest of the Li atoms becomes Rmt(Li) = 1.66 , whether these two compounds are comparable for the calculation of Li extraction voltage or I may need to fix both of them either at 1.72 or at 1.66? Looking forward to your advice. with regards, On Sun, 22 May 2022 at 21:35, shamik chakrabarti <shamik15041...@gmail.com<mailto:shamik15041...@gmail.com>> wrote: Thank you, Sir. I understand.

If you want to compare total energies (or maybe partial charges), the RMTs must be identical.
