Dear Prof. Blaha I apologize. Let me make my previous Email a little more complete. As you mentioned in your Email, for SnS the sources of differences between the results of ELF using WIEN2k code and VASP code is due to the difference between all-electron and pseudopotentials calculations in these two codes. However, I am still not sure that the differences between my results for the ELF of SnSe and Jiawang and Olivier's paper are normal or not. I would be glad if you let me know your opinion about this subject. Sincerely yours Reyhaneh Ebrahimi
