[Pw_forum] Why the calculated equilibrium lattice parameters are significantly larger than the experiment?

[Stefano Baroni]

Dear Yan Li,

please let us know which system are you studying, as well as more  
details on your calculation. The behavior you observed may depend on  
your pseudopotential, or on some know failure of dft, or on many  
other reasons.

Also, please do not forget to include your affiliation in the signature.
