Dear Meysam, When you do a supercell calculation you do not need to relax the lattice parameters because the cell vectors perpendicular to the surface is ficticious in the sense that you simply use a value large enough so that the periodic images perpendicular to the surface do not interact with

Dear Meysam, First you relax the supecell using "relax" calculation, it will make all the atoms to attain an equilibrium position. Then adsorb the atom (make it close enough so that your surface is interacting with the adorbate) and make the "relaax" calculation again. The

Dear PWSCF users I want to calculte the enthalpy of adsorbtion of o2 molecule on the surface of a ZnO.Can i use variable cell relaxation for the supercell and use the enthalpy that printed in output file? I can also run a series of scf jobs with different cell volumes,and then calculate the
