[Pw_forum] Res: vc-relax, GGA

[Álvaro Alves]

Dear Nahali

Is there any reference in which I get more information about vc-relax?

  Dear Santos
 
      Using vc-relax variable, all cell parameters ( distances and angles) are 
optimized so one 

      may obtain some parameters lower than expected. Did you consider symmetry 
in your job or not? this would affect the resuls. 

      I think that your obtained value is plausible. vc-relaxed calculation in 
quantum espresso works very well and effective.

Hello PWscf users. I optimize a triclinic cell using the vc-relax, GGA
