External Pressure
What is the procedure to apply external pressure to a unit-cell in VASP? Is PSTRESS tag used for applying an external pressure? The unit of PSTRESS is given as kb, is it kilobar or something else?

Hi,
At PSTRESS it is written "This allows performing structure optimization at a specific external pressure.". Yes, kB is kbar.
