<p>A suggestion is to put in the struct file the PBE lattice constants from the paper (after conversion in bohr), <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and then use option [</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">5] of "x optimize". If you do not</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
see some minimum </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">(use only PBE without vdW</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">)</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, then something else is wrong in your files.</span></p>

<p>Using a RKmax above 7 should not lead to completely wrong results. One important point is how the lattice constants a and c were varied. In a meaningful way?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Dr. Tran,
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I have used both plain GGA & nlvdw independently & in both cases the results are same. I have used Rmr*Kmax=9 for nlvdw & 7 for GGA. Do you think moving to larger Rmt*Kmax may solve the problem? I am currently going through the literature
you have sent..</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div> I am trying to optimize the structure of Beta - Sn. However, even after 20% increment of the volume there is no sign of energy minima. I am attaching the struct file herewith this mail for your consideration. </div>
