the calculations of N2 molecule bond energy

Post by Paul » Wed Aug 31, 2011 10:00 am

Hi,
I want to calculate the N2 molecule bond energy , but the result is very bad, and has a big difference with experiments . And I can not find the reason .
Can you tell me why and how I should change the input files .
This is my input files and the result . Thanks.

ndtset 2 udtset 1 2
ixc -101130
acell:? 35 35 35 acell+? 2 2 2

And the result is :
etotal1 -1.9912245688E+01
etotal2 -9.6592504941E+00
Ebond= 19.9122-2*9.65925=0.5937Ha=16.15ev
but the experiments is 9.8ev
