   I am a new qe user,and i have a problem about the PbTiO3 Tetragonal phase optimization using vc-relax, the output result is much less than the accurate one,i dont know how to do such optimization about tetragonal,can you give me some advice,i really appreciate it. this is my input file:
&control
calculation = 'vc-relax',
restart_mode = 'from_scratch',
pseudo_dir = '$PSEUDO_DIR/'
outdir = '$OUTPUT_DIR/'
tstress = .true.
tprnfor = .true.
disk_io='high'
/
&system
ibrav=6
celldm(1)=7.8
celldm(3)=1.04
nat=5
ntyp=3
ecutwfc=26
occupations = 'smearing'
smearing    = "gauss",
degauss=0.05,
/
&electrons
conv_thr = 1.D-8
diagonalization   =   'david'
mixing_beta=0.7D0,
/
&IONS
 /
&CELL
cell_dynamics='bfgs'
press=0.00

and output result is :

End final coordinates
the accurate result is 3.9,and c/a is about 1.04, i dont know why my result is smaller than it? please help me,i really appreciate!
