<div>hi everyone:</div>
<div>my question is somewhat old ,i have seen a lot of related discussion in this forum .but my results does not like previous instance.</div>
<div>i only want to relax c of crystal lattice ,and fixed c,computes it,and then change it ,compute it,and .....</div>
<div>i get the E VS C tabular </div>
<div>so strange is that :</div>
<div> </div>
<div>c E<br clear="all">2.655 -137.78747<br>2.725 -137.7912<br>2.76 -137.79219<br>2.77 -137.79233</div>
<div>2.78 -137.79248<br>2.795 -137.79266<br>2.8 -137.7927<br>2.81 -137.79275<br>2.82 -137.79275<br>2.83 -137.79278<br>2.84 -137.79276<br>2.85 -137.79279<br>(1)the energy is down before 2,81,and c=
2.83 is like local minimum ,and then the energy is go on to down. the graph is smooth ,but i can not get the parabola shape .so the best relaxed structure is unkown to me.</div>
<div> and i saw many discuss about the down energy ,maybe the ecutrho issue. but i am not sure .if ti is ,i should test the ecutrho?i post my input file here:</div>

<div>......</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>..</div>
<div>(2)and another question is although i can not get the lowest erengy,but i can get the parabola of the stress. maybe someone the stress is not consistent with energy,for i only want to know which structure is best ,so the exactly stress is not so import for me, i only want to know the trend .in this point,whether i can rely on the stress to determine the best structure.

<div>i need your help.</div>
