Good morning to everyone. I'm not a really experienced user of VASP and so I'm asking for a bit of help. Basically, I'm dealing with a supported metallic cluster (slab calculations, with approximately 100 atoms). After benchmarking, I've chosen a 4x4x1 k-point mesh and an ENCUT value of 500 eV. Ever...
