[Pw_forum] Why the calculated equilibrium lattice parameters

[Stefano Baroni]

Hi! I understand from Paolo that the PP that he refers to is not the  
one originally used in our paper. It may be boring to copy by hands,  
but the form of the PP used therein is reported in the text of the  
paper. Cheers - Stefano Baroni
