[Wien] L2main - QTL-B Error

Dear Professor Blaha

Thank you very much for your support. I could solve the problems by
optimizing RMT's and removing the  P-s LO. Thanks again

Now I want to dope LiFePO4 and for this I have constructed a super
cell 2*2*2. But then my work station becomes so slow that I could not
start the initialization. I have 48 inequilant atoms in the super
cell.

1. Is it very big super cell that my machine can not work on?
2. Is it necessary to construct a super cell to have doping effect?
2. How we decide that which super cell will do our job? 2*2*2 or 3*3*3.....?

Thanks a lot.
