Dear All,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to optimize the structure based on the experimental crystal structure using 'relax' task. Shall I use primitive cell or conventional unit cell to do relax? The primitive cell job (26 atoms) is done and conventional cell job (52 atoms) is still in progress. I used the same parameters for both jobs and it looks like the results will be different. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Another quick question: the calculated energy for primitive cell (26 atoms, 3 types) is converged into 0.001 Ry. Is this energy difference (0.001 Ry) for 26 atoms? In this case, can we say that total energy is converged within 0.001/26 Ry/atom? Some workers wrote in their paper that the energy is converged within 0.5 eV/atom. It is a little weird expression to me because there are several different types of atoms. <br clear="all">
