<br>Thanks xirainbow, but when I changed the degauss to 0, the software said i need to expand the value. I guess because there're Cu atoms in this system.<br>can anybody give me an direction?<br>The following are the script i used.<br>

Dear Chengyu:<div>For semiconductor, the degauss should be zero.</div><div>That means the occupancy is 1.</div><br></blockquote></div>
