Dear all,

I relax the cell of structure. After that, I use
this result to relax ion positions. The input file for cell relaxation
and ion relax is the same (only change 'vc-relax' to 'relax'). These 
are the result I got.

For Vc-relax:

          total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)                   (kbar)     P=    0.02
   0.00000094  -0.00000009  -0.00000014          0.14     -0.01     -0.02
  -0.00000009   0.00000082  -0.00000024         -0.01      0.12     -0.04
  -0.00000014  -0.00000024  -0.00000142         -0.02     -0.04     -0.21

For ion relax:

I don't understand why the pressures in two case are different. I also checked the position of ions and nothing is different. 

And
another thing is Final energy and Final enthalpy. I know enthalpy is
the energy of system at constant pressure. What is difference  between
Final energy and Final enthalpy for this case?


Best regards,
