Dear QE users,
I have been trying to perform a vc-relax calculation with 24 atoms. After
two scf steps, I am not able to achieve the convergence. My scf calculation
finished successfully with the forces
 Total force =     0.052988     Total SCF correction =     0.001992
  Computing stress (Cartesian axis) and pressure
        total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)                   (kbar)     P=

I tried many attempts by changing the mixing beta, mixing mode, and
degauss value as suggested in the Forum.  I  also visualized my structure
after each step. I am attaching my input file, please have a look.
I myself not able to recognize something wrong that I am doing. I'll very
thankful for any suggestions.
