  Dear Leila,

Is that necessary to use dispersion correction for
bulk modulus calculation of Si ?
In your submitted input file vdw is included:

       � � � &vdW_POTENTIAL
       � � � � �DISPERSION_FUNCTIONAL PAIR_POTENTIAL
       � � � � �&PAIR_POTENTIAL
       � � � � � � TYPE DFTD3
       � � � � � � CALCULATE_C9_TERM .TRUE.
       � � � � � � REFERENCE_C9_TERM .TRUE.
       � � � � � � LONG_RANGE_CORRECTION .TRUE.
       � � � � � � PARAMETER_FILE_NAME ./dftd3.dat

  I'm not sure, but it could influence the PBE results.

Best regard, P�ter S�le
