Hello ABINIT users,
I tried to test a really simple case such as a single atom in a big box but it
seems that the results of energy terms are not consistent except Hydrogen.
For example, in case of Hydrogen(H),energy terms are approximately
etotal  -0.46~-0.47 (Ha)
kinetic  0.40
xc      -0.23
for pspgth,pspnc and hgh pseudopotentials and those values agree with the 
other
calculations such as LSD from the database of NIST 
(http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/DFTdata/Tables/ptable.html)
etotal   -0.478671 (Ha)
kinetic   0.466643
xc       -0.278072
However, in case of Lithium(Li)
1. pspgth
etotal   -6.4459953871E+00
kinetic   4.64052708224207E+00
xc       -1.39621419943090E+00
2. pspnc
etotal   -2.4918288310E-01
kinetic   4.92291950692443E-02
xc       -1.31155787732314E-01
3. hgh
etotal   -2.1898809538E-01
kinetic   5.53895935658446E-02
xc       -9.56485913178435E-02
4. LSD from Nist
etotal   -7.343957
kinetic   7.249892
xc       -1.665189
Results of other atoms show similar inconsistency.
I used the following options but I think even proper choice of options for 
each
atom may not correct the huge difference of the results.

nspden 2
nsppol 2
nspinor 1
occopt 7
acell 3*15
ecut 15.0

Thank you.
