[Pw_forum] graphite cell optimization failed

[Eric Germaneau]

Dear all,

I'm trying to optimize unit cell parameter of graphite.
The problem is the c axis gets too long.
Starting from published data my initial parameters are a=4.59203 Bohr 
and c=12.513 Bohr.
The final values are 4.664 and 15.829 respectively.
I need someone to explain to me what I did wrong, I've attached my input 
file.
That's a basic calculation so it's very frustrating to not make it done.
I thank you in advance,

                                     Eric.
