Dear All

How to optimize the BaTiO3 tetragonal structure?
Because when I use minimum energy and zero pressure, I face to very
different lattice parameters (celldm(1) and celldm(3)) in comparison
to experiment and even DFT calculations!!!!!!! I used
PZ/PW91/PBE/PBESOL but all of them were different!!!!!1
more reports are a=3.990 to 4.00 and c/a is 1.011 to 1.013 but my
calculations are very different!!!!!!!!!

Is my procedure for optimization correct? if it is not, please guide me.
an example of relaxation is attached
