Maybe it can be added:
Only total energy differences are, provided they are calculated in the same supercell and with the same wfc/density cutoffs and with same k-point sampling scheme ? ********************************** Dear Poonam S. As a general rule, total energies are not meaningful in the case of plane-wave/pseudopotentials calculations in periodic boundary conditions. Only total energy differences are, provided they are calculated in the same supercell and with the same wfc/density cutoffs.
