- Dear OpenMX users,
I am having some troubles with the bulk modulus calculation for Silver. I made a sequence of 9 lattice parameters and found the following total energies:
a(ANG) Et(Hartree)
3.086 -442.895
3.586 -442.794
3.786 -445.009
4.086 -445.125
4.096 -445.126
4.286 -445.133
5.086 -445.019
5.586 -444.940
6.086 -444.880
The curve has the right shape but the minimum is around 4.2 ang and not 4.09 which is the right value. I am sending one of the input files bellow.

I tried this in more than one machine and with different compilers to eliminate any compilation problems but the result was always the same. Does anyone had this kind of problem?
