External Pressure

#1 Post by karthik_hj » Tue Oct 11, 2022 5:02 am

What is the procedure to apply external pressure to a unit-cell in VASP? Is PSTRESS tag used for applying an external pressure? The unit of PSTRESS is given as kb, is it kilobar or something else?

Hi,

At PSTRESS it is written "This allows performing structure optimization at a specific external pressure.". Yes, kB is kbar.
