+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item $6\times 6 \times 6$ Monkhorst k-point mesh
+ \item $E_{\text{cut-off}}=650\text{ eV}$
+ \item Gaussian smearing ($\sigma=0.05$)
+ \item Use symmetry
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace*{0.2cm}
+ \underline{Param 2}\\
+ After talking to the pros!
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item $\Gamma$-point only
+ \item $E_{\text{cut-off}}=xyz\text{ eV}$
+ \item Gaussian smearing ($\sigma=0.05$)
+ \item Use symmetry
+ \item Real space projection (Auto, Medium) for 'large' simulations
+ \end{itemize}

+ In both parameter sets the ultra soft pseudo potential method

+ the LDA and GGA exchange correlation potential!
