Dear Peter Blaha,

Thank you for you kind help. It seems I have made a miserable mistake by confusing theta and phi.
I have tried theta from 0 to pi and phi from 0 to 2pi, the results looks resonable. There is still minor difference (0.001 level) among equivalent atoms, how should I deal with the difference?  

Thank you!

Best regards, 

Yours
