Dear all:
Thanks Prof. Blaha for your response! I did what you suggested. But the
problem is still there. I tried to decrease the RMT in StructGen in w2web
by setting "reduce RMTs by 30%". More larger values will make the core
electrons leaking. In volume search I used -20% to 3%. Smaller volume will
cause error in calculation. The structure file and calculated energies are
listed bellow.  In StructGen I used 1 unequavalent atom and two positions.
There is no error reported in calculation.
