Dear Prof. Eyvaz,<BR>
Thank you very much for your reply In response to your advice regarding the inaccuracy in structure input for tetragonal PbTiO3, I checked the literature and thus have taken the structural input parameteres(lattice constant,c/a and atomic positions)from PRL 80,1998,4321 and done the convergence test. conv_threshold used now is 1e-12<BR>
The result is as follows.Could you please let me know whether the convergence is good or not.<BR>
