Hello Everyone,

>From more than a month i am trying to simulate a 2D heterostructure system
including SOC and starting magnetization using PBE-GGA and DFT-D. But
repeatedly i am getting a segmentation fault in it? I will be grateful if
i get some help and suggestion in this regard.

The segmentation error looks as shown below-

cp: missing destination file operand after
‘/global/home/sushantk/mayuri/QAHE/’
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
