Dear Yung Song
I think you've "kind of" understood...:-)
For example, only to be sure, you may try to calculate the ZnO lattice
parameters at increasing wfc cutoffs (70, 80, 90, 100, ... Ry) and check when
they become stable (i.e., converge of lattice parameters reached with respect
to the wfc cutoff). This is probably the most important convergence test in
your case.
Yours
Giuseppe
