[Wien] Is the valure of cohesive energy correct for VSi2?

[Jian Zhu]

Hi,well-beloved prof. Georg,
     Thank you very much for your  reply. Why is the Rkmax 9? In the FAQ, it
says that one should use identical RMT, RKMAX with the compound, but only 1
k-point and spinpolarization (for non-closed shell atoms).  The Rmt and
Rkmax in VSi2 are 7.0 and 2.2 for V and 7.0 and 2.0 for Si, respectively.
Therefore, the Rmt and Rkmax for V and Si should be 7.0 (7.0) and 2.2 (2.0),
respectively. Do you think so? Thank you for your time.
      Best regards.
                                                               Yours
sincerely,
                                                                Jian Zhu
