I recently evaluated with PW the binding energy of a O2 molecule using
the regular ultra-soft PP from the webpage. I noticed that the energy
obtained could be 5.7eV or 6.7eV depending if the flag "nosym=.true." is
used or not in the </font></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> energy </font></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">evaluation
of the isolated oxygen atom. I would like to know if anyone could help
me understand why such a large difference is obtained for this system,
since for many other systems (such as metals) the inclusion of
"nosym=.true." for the isolated atom do not affect so much (or not at
all) the value of the binding/cohesive energy. <br>

Thanks very much for your time, and all best for all!<br>
