Hi all ,

          I am doing scf calculation for silicon on 2*2*2 supercell,but
pw.x code showing me following error

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     task #         0
     from check_atoms : error #         1
     atoms #   1 and #   4 overlap!
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Am generating supercell in crystal maker.I have tried different combination
of supercell but each time i am getting the same error.
for the error quoted above my atomic position are as follows
