[Pw_forum] RE : Lattice Parameter too low from experimentally determined. (3.42 ~ 3.52)

[Elliot Menkah]

Hello Giannozzi,

I changed the pseudopotential to Ni.pbe-n-kjpaw_psl.0.1.UPF and I 
obtained my lattice parameter to be 3.51 Angstroms which corresponds 
better with experimental data of 3.52 A.


Thank you very much.

Kind Regards,


Elliot
