Hi, Prof. Laurence:

This result is converged to large extent with respect to force, charge and energy. The forces on individual atoms are all below 0.5 and the total force in z is 3.5, which is the direction without symmetry. The :MV flag gives the following information:

:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   1.324705E-06 %   1.9515E+00
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   5.048483E-07 %   7.4904E-01
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   5.945770E-07 %   8.8888E-01
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   1.812394E-06 %   2.7020E+00
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   4.148287E-07 %   6.2033E-01
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   7.931515E-07 %   1.1769E+00
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   5.749884E-07 %   8.5153E-01
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   2.831283E-07 %   4.1772E-01
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   2.054397E-07 %   3.0163E-01
:MVORD  NDM  100 L1   1.773378E-07 %   2.6035E-01

Best,
Wenhao
