Total Energy Interpretation? Total Energy per Unit Cell or per Atom or per bulk.
« on: May 22, 2012, 18:54 »
Hi everyone,

Can someone please explain me the interpretation of 'Total Energy' ? Is it the total energy per Unit Cell or per atom or per whole bulk repeated infinitely as unit cell does ?

It is the per unit cell. So if you repeat the system 2x2x2 you will get 8 times the energy.
