Respected AriesThank you, i will check for convergence and see whether i can use PAW without LDA+U for this system.regards Chaitanya Varma M

 Dear Chaitanya, are you sure that this values, describe fine your system
 ecutwfc = 80 ,
ecutrho = 320 
Have your test the convergence of this parameters.

And your calculation crahs because:  forces for this U_projection_type not implemented. with PAW pseudopotentials

Respected all,I tried to work out magnetization of ni-Zn ferrite (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) using vc-relax run.From experimental data and my work on Ni-Zn ferrite (bulk & nanopowders) the magnetic moment is 2.5 bohr magnetons for formula unit or 20 bohr magnetons per unit cell (8 molecular formulas).but I am getting 0.03 bohr magnetons.
Please give me suggestions to improve the calculation.
