Thanks for your kind reply. Yeah I repeated this time by double checking my
crystal coordinates with both VESTA and XRYSDYNE. It is perfect. Lorenzo,
you are right I think. I will double check my pseudopotentials now. Then I
will run the calcuations. Here is my new input data and outfile, still SCF
energies are out of order!
