Hi<br><br>I am trying to calculate the cohesive energy for tungsten. the code is attached. I am able to get the lattice parameter of 3.19 ang while experimental is 3.16 angs. Then i calculated the cohesive energy of w by calculating the energy of isolated w atom by changing lattice parameter up to 25. I got the cohesive energy of 11.1 ev/atom while reported value is 8.9 ev/atom. This is way too high. can anybody help me. I have varied the K point as well as The E_cut but no advantage.<br>
