Dear Laurence Marks Sir and Swati Madam
I have run the volume optimization with default Rmt and kept the Rmt
reduction at 0%. But for both the cases fcc Ni and bcc Fe I have got the
error of overlapping muffin-tin sphere. I am sending both the struct file
with this mail. Please have a look at it and suggest me what to do.
PS. *In my previous mail I have copied the struct file
Ni_sp_vol__0.0.struct. I think in that file there is some problem happening
during the optimization process.*
with regards,
Shamik Chakrabarti
