Dear Gerhard,
     You are right in the point that my RMT's are very small. But if you
increase the RMT, you will observe error in x nn. I have used the value of
Rmt for Bi as 1.75, Se 1 as 1.58 and Se (2) as 1.69 as referred in the
paper of Mishra et al ; JPCM 9 (1997) 461 before using the data which I
sent you all. So I could not clarify where the data was wrong. Hope you all
could solve it out.
Regards
Ghimire
