[Wien] Optimization of hexagonal lattice

2012-04-02 Thread Souheyla Mamoun
Dear all

I try to get the optimized lattice parameters a and c of hexagonal structure 
with space group 161 R3c using both of the volume and c/a optimizations. My 
obtained results are not comparable (too great) to the experimental and 
theoretical data.?
Can you show me the procedure of optimization with relaxation, please?

?

[Wien] Optimization of hexagonal lattice

With PBE they normally are too large by a few percent. If it really matters
WC amd PBEsol are often better for lattice parameters, although they are
also slightly more covalent.
