Dear Rajesh,

I do not know about the ESM, but please check the keyword 'cell_dofree' in the namelist '&CELL'.

Dear Dr Kumar
Thank you for your reply. Actually, in publications related to 2D materials I 
find that a vacuum is
applied in perpendicular direction to the plane of nanohseet, say graphene. In 
vc-relax the change in
dimension may affect the vacuum thickness. I there any option to address this? 
What about esm?


Thanks 
Rajesh

      Relax will only relax your atomic positions, while vc-relax will relax 
atomic positions
as well lattice parameters. Please read the documentation of pw.x for
detail.

      Dear users
Which option is better for geometry optimisation: relax or vc-relax. Please 
suggest I am new
to quantum espresso.

Thank you

Rajesh
