Hi,
I tried to calculate sample crystal structure, according to some references.
Tried to calculate total energy of crystal, but result comes out with positive total energy value.
firstly I thought the POSCAR files were wrong, but it seems not. (I verified by VESTA.)
I also tried to do calculation with other hybrid method, it came with positive value too.
I had calculated with other programs, but result of them was definitely negative value.
I have no idea why this comes out with positive energy value..
If you find a problem in my file, please notify me..
Here is my INCAR and POSCAR file
