Just been looking at the ASE bindings to DFTB+ and noticed that the
internal (total_energy), not the Mermin free energy (mermin_energy), is
being collected from results.tag.
This would mean that at finite electron temperatures there can be a
system dependent discrepancy between the forces and the energy that ASE
uses.
Incidentally, the introduction at
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/ase/calculators/dftb.html is slightly out
of date.
The main DFTB+ site is http://www.dftbplus.org/ and its LGPL3 so does
not require registration now.
Regards
Ben
