Dear List,


Could you please help me to get optimize lattice parameters from the
procedure that I followed as mentioned below:



The procedure is a four-step task what I am following:

The original lattice parameters were: a, b, c=16.763005, 24.803600,
16.320431  >> vol 6785.64777697697 bohr^3.


1.   VARY C/A RATIO with CONSTANT VOLUME and B/A (orthorh lattice)

getting below optimized data:
>>>>  ==========================================================
>>>> Lowest point on X-axis is =  -1.615800
>>>> Minimum value of B/A is =     1.455755
>>>> Minimum value of ENE is =   -339059.104498 Ry
>>>>  ==========================================================
>>>> Value of A is =     16.85428 bohr  ;    8.91890 Ang
>>>> Value of B is =     24.53569 bohr  ;   12.98373 Ang
>>>> Value of C is =     16.40929 bohr  ;    8.68342 Ang
>>>>  ==========================================================
>>>> Initial value of  B/A is =          1.479663
>>>> Conv. Unit Cell Vol =  6785.7557 bohr^3 ; **********Ang^
