We demonstrate how to calculate vacancy formation energy in aluminum bulk with two methods. For the first method, the system is fully relaxed. The second method follows Gillan's work [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 1 689 (1989)], in which the vacancy system's lattice parameter is obtained from re-scaling.
