Reference energy unit in formation_energy and clex(formation_energy)

Open sjtuzhanglei opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Dear CASM developers,

The unit of energy is eV/prim cell, right? The formation_energy I believe is eV/atom.

When I set the chemical_reference energy, the DFT version of formation_energy looks OK, but that from CLEX is shifted. What could be the problem?
