First thing, trying raising you cutoffs (e.g. use pseudo and<br>
suggestions from <a href="http://materialscloud.org/sssp" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">materialscloud.org/sssp</a>, and/or even higher).<br>
<br>
The stress tensors converges slowly with the cutoff.<br>

I have a question regarding calculation of elastic constants in metallic alloys. When I use tstress=.TRUE. to calculate stress alongside total energy, in -2%<strain<+2% range (elastic region), I expect to have a linear variation of stress with strain but my results indicate a totally non-linear correlation.<br>
I use the E/V vs. strain curve to calculate elastic constants and my results are consistent with experimental reports. Only, the stress part calculated within pw.x simulation seems to be incorrect. Now:<br>
1- Am I missing anything besides "tsress" in my input file?<br>
2- Would it be correct if I manually convert E/V (delta(Energy)/Volume) to P(stress)? and if yes, how?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
Afshin<br>
