<div dir="ltr">Hi Sumit,<div><br></div><div>First of all, you cannot find the lattice constant with this type of calculation. You ran an ENERGY calculation. If you want to do it, you need to run a CELL_OPT calculation.</div><div>In your current calculation, you use a 20 A lattice constant cube. Also, I think your initial cell dimension is not correct, since the lattice constant of Argon is 5.26 A, then a 2x2x2 supercell is not 20 A sized. Also, your system has 63 atoms... ¿?.</div><div><br></div><div>Other related topics are: a 2x2x2 supercell is not sufficient to compute a periodical Argon system... You need a bigger supercell, or use kpoints. Also, as this system just interacts by dispersion, probably the PBE functional is not sufficient at all. You need to account the dispersion terms by means of Grimes D3 or other.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El mar, 11 may 2021 a las 14:08, sumit agrawal (<<a href="mailto:sumitag...@gmail.com">sumitag...@gmail.com</a>>) escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hii everyone,<br><div><br></div><div>I want to calculate a lattice constant for the Ar crystal of (2*2*2 unit cell).
