Dear Giuseppe

Thanks very much for your reply and valuable suggestions. I will do
further test calculations w.r.t q-points and cut-off energy of plane
wave.  The present problem is that the calculations at some lattice
parameter did not converge even using 1x1x1 q-points. In my opinion,
the calculations with denser q-points and lager cut-off energy should
be more difficult to get electronic S.C.F. Am I right ? Any suggestion
about how to get SCF using hybrid functional?

Thanks and Best wishes

Wei-Bing
