[Pw_forum] vc-relax(supercell)

Dear all,


I have a problem.

My problem of the 16 atom supercell system ( one-dimension system ), I
am trying to vc-relax.

First, when it calculates in a supercell, is it amusing that pressure
is applied from a vacuum layer? (My calculation is x and y)

Then, if  cell_dofree = 'xyz' is used, a vacuum layer will become small
rapidly.

Does my calculation have any problems?


Thanks,

REI
