Dear Andrea,

Thank you so much for your advice.

I have increased my cutoff to 30 Ry. And the results seems to be more satisfied than before.
Now I see you mail, and I'll increase my cutoff to 40 Ry or more, later.

I have converted my  coordinates to coordinates in alat. 8 symmetry operations
could be found. And I found the k-point reduced to 3 evenif I set it to 4X4X2. Do you 
think this is up to snuff? 
As you adviced I'll try crystal coordinates later.

May you a happy weekend.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
