[Pw_forum] ev.x fitting problem

[Xiao]

Dear sir/madam,

As I am using the ev.x to fitting EOS on Pd. I got the wrong bulk modulus. Here is my procedure. Please  help me check what’s wrong with my fitting? 
input data in Å and ev.

3.7351  -1.455513098
3.8129  -1.5041846
3.8907  -1.527184909
3.9685  -1.530334715
4.0463  -1.51819883
4.1241  -1.4945274

     Lattice parameter or Volume are in (au, Ang) > Ang
     Assuming Angstrom
     Enter type of bravais lattice (fcc, bcc, sc, noncubic) > fcc
     Enter type of equation of state :
     1=birch1, 2=birch2, 3=keane, 4=murnaghan > 2
then I get the output file like below:

# equation of state: birch 3rd order.  chisq = 0.3034D-10
# a0 =  7.4514 a.u., k0 = 6726 kbar, dk0 =  5.51 d2k0 = -0.001 emin =   -1.53118
# a0 =  3.94309 Ang, k0 = 672.7 GPa,  V0 = 103.430 (a.u.)^3,  V0 = 15.327 A^3

~                                                                           
The k0 here is 672.7GPa, it should be 180GPa more or less. And I fitted same data with another software, it gives me 167GPa.

So Please Help Me What’s Wrong With My Fitting?

Thank you!!!
