<div dir="ltr"><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Dear Quantum Espresso community:
<br>I optimized the cell vectors and atomic positions (vc-relax) of a Perovskite, resulting in a total stress of -0.68 kbar.</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">However, when building the 3x3 Supercell of this oxide and performing the "relax" calculation of this structure, I find a very high stress of -13.34 kbar. These calculations I used the functional PBE-D3.How is it possible to reduce the Supercell Pressure to lower values?. Have I used the correct calculation variables, that is, functional, k points, ecutwfc, press_conv_thr or others?</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Supercell Input information:</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> &control<br> calculation='relax',<br> restart_mode='from_scratch',<br> pseudo_dir = '.',<br> outdir='./tmp'<br> prefix='Superficie'<br>! forc_conv_thr = 1d-2,<br> nstep= 500<br> tstress = .true.,<br> tprnfor = .true.,<br> /<br> &system<br> ibrav = 0, nat= 117, ntyp= 3,<br> ecutwfc = 50.0, ecutrho = 400.0<br> vdw_corr = 'grimme-d3'<br> /<br> &electrons<br> electron_maxstep= 500<br> conv_thr = 1.0e-8<br> mixing_beta = 0.7<br> /<br> &ions<br> ion_dynamics = 'bfgs',<br> /<br>! &CELL<br>! cell_dynamics = 'bfgs',<br>! press = 0.0,<br>! press_conv_thr = 0.5,<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> /<br>ATOMIC_SPECIES<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> Sr 87.62 Sr.pbe-spn-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF<br> Ti 47.87 Ti.pbe-spn-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF<br> O 16.00 O.pbe-n-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">CELL_PARAMETERS angstrom<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">.....</pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">ATOMIC_POSITIONS angstrom<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">K_POINTS (gamma)<br></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">.....</pre><div><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Please, I will be grateful if you help me with this,
