Dear all,<br><br>The pressure calculated by using the pseudo-potential (Mg.pz-n-vbc.UPF) and (O.pz-mt.UPF) is negative! These two pp were downloaded from www.pwscf.org.<br><br>I've tried exactly the same configuration but using (Mg.pw91-np-van.UPF) and (O.pw91-van_ak.UPF) (also downloaded from www.pwscf.org), the results are fine.<br><br>Here, I attach my simple input file. Please help see whether I am making mistakes or the pp have some problem.<br><br>Thanks in advance for any comments.<br><br>Lawrence<br><br><br> &control<br> calculation='md',<br> restart_mode='from_scratch',<br> nstep=3000,<br> dt=20,<br> tstress=.TRUE.<br> tprnfor=.TRUE.<br> pseudo_dir='~/espresso-3.1.1/pseudo',<br> outdir='./tmp/',<br> /<br> &system<br> ibrav=1, celldm(1)=7.80,<br> nat=8 ,
