<br>
<div>Thanks a lot Cesar.</div>
<div> That works, still I am facing a problem because the single point optimum lattice parameter and the vc-relax optimum one is quite different around 0.1 angstrom, I tried changing cell _factor and wmass parameter but those are not affecting much on optimum lattice paraneter.
</div>
<div> if anybody can provide me any hints or suggest some references on this topic then it will be real helpful.</div>
<div>thanks in advance</div>
