Dear Felix, First of all, the "hydrogen becomes metallic" probably means that you should apply spin polarisation as you have only one atom. Please remember that the absolute energies do not make sense, the total energy of the atom should be calculated by removing the energy difference betwe

Dear Felix. Is "binding energy" the same as (negative) "atomization energy" in this context? Should be quite possible with PAWs. Regards, Jess On 02/26/2016 02:31 PM, Felix Brockherde wrote: Dear all, We would like to calculate the binding energy for non-equilibrium H2O geometries with PAW
