Dear Giuseppe:
  Hi, your adivce is great help for me. I have understood a lot since learning your adivce.I think your means that the parameters change relatively small between different wfc cut off(such as 67 and 60) ,it note stable? Is it right? I will try and follow you and Paolo's advice.

Dear Yung Song
What Paolo means is that you should perform a series of calculation  
(for example on the ZnO cell) by raising the wfc cutoff. When all the  
parameters (Energy, forces, eigenvalues...) become stable between two  
calculations with different cutoff, then you have reached convergence  
with respect to the wfc basis set. How much stable? Well... It depends  
on your purposes (and on your experience of a given system);  
calculations are sometimes art more than science...:-)
Hope this suggestion helps more than the previous one, but listen to  
Paolo: do not start production runs unless you've really understood  
them.
