Dear Narendra Nath Ghosh,<br>
<br>
Adding to Lorenzo's answer, a small note: You seem to have an odd number of electrons but you do not specify 'nspin = 2' - are you sure that this is what you intended to do (physically)? 70 Ry with a pseudo potential à la Troullier-Martins for oxygen, it
might be at the lower limit (it depends on the core radii, usually I would go for 80-90 Ry minimum). And, do you know if the electron gets localised or remains delocalised - this is an open question to my knowledge, and might well depend on the kind of exchange-correlation
functional used (GGA like BLYP probably delocalise it - with the highest occupied orbital in the conduction band - and hybrid functionals might localise it).<br>
