Thanks for the correction.
With respect to your other questions:
In order to save cpu time, I would do (at least for the more complicated
compounds, not necessarily for BaO, which is fast anyway) all
calculations with "standard RMTs" (volume optimization, optimization of
internal parameters, ...).
Only when I've found the minimum structure, I'd get the final total
energy for this minimum structure with a setup using RMT(O)=1.1 and
RKMAX=6.
And of course, whenever you compare total energies of different phases,
structures, compounds, ... the computational parameters must be
"consistent". This means,
i) at the end all RMTs should be the same (so choose RMT(Zr) and RMT(Ba)
such, that they can be identical in all cases).
ii) use either "converged" (increase k-mesh until Etot is constant) or
at least "equivalent" k-meshes (a cell with 2 formulae units should use
eg. a 2x2x2 k-mesh, while the cell with one FU should have a 4x4x4 k-mesh).
iii) consistent RKmax (see faq)
iv) identical E-parameter settings, IFFT factors, GMAX, LVNS, ....
Hope this is clear now.
