Dear Prof Daryl !
                          Can you please attach your VASP file also so that
I can have a closer look at your VASP file. In fact I did the calculation
with your input file and after optimizing the structure I was getting the
energy difference of 0.69 ev/atom. I just wanted to see the structures.
