The expt lattice constant was 15.87 and I have been trying to find the equilibrium lattice constant (celldm(1)) between 15.80 - 16.00 and all i get is a straight line graph instead of the usual exponential curve graph. I have tried all l could most esp with starting_magnetization but the results are the same. My input is pasted below pls help me to get the appropriate graph.<br>
The kind of the graph I got is attached.<br>Thanks<br><br>&control<br> calculation = 'scf',<br> restart_mode ='from_scratch',<br> prefix = 'Fe3O4',<br> pseudo_dir = '/home/abolore/Programs/Pseudos/',<br>
