Dear PWscf developers and in particular Professor Baroni,<br> Thank you very much for your instructions.<br> I did the test to check the forces and stress in the Berry phase method with the ultrasoft pseudopotential. The forces are correct but the stress is around 50% smaller. I am not sure whether it is due to the ultrasoft pseudopotential or not. <br>
I would greatly appreciate it if the developers of QE could reexamine the calculation of stress in the Berry phase method with the ultrasoft pseudopotential.<br> Best wishes.<br><br>Hanghui Chen<br>Department of Physics,<br>
