Sir,

There are three types of energies in OUTCAR file, TOTEN, energy without entropy and energy(sigma->0), What these energies actually signifies, Which energy should be noted as ground state energy?

As i know, at the end of the OSZICAR file you should see the line " F=... E0=... dE=...."

E0 is the total ground state energy of your system.
