Thank you very much Dear Mattioli Sir , it  works.

Can please give a clue to obtained the Al.pz-bhs.UPF (Al LDA with bhs
funtionals essentially NormConversing) pseudopotential as i am very poor to
generate it myself and not obtained  it in pslibrary.
it's a very bad habit i know but i have no option except taking help at
this stage for my research.

thanks in advanced for your kind help.
