[Pw_forum] very high pressure in scf

[Максим Попов]

Dear Sanjay,

it is very difficult to suggest something without looking, at least, in your
input files.
One idea comes to my mind - are you sure that length units are the same in
both abinit and qe calculations?
More specific, my suspicion is that in abinit you used unit cell in
Angstroems, and put the same numbers to
qe input (celldm(X)). Taking into account, that celldm unit is Bohr, one can
understand this discrepancy in
calculated pressures: in qe the unit cell volume is almost 8(!) times
smaller.
Hope, this helps.

Best regards,
Maxim.
