Thanks Dr. Marks and Dr. Blaha for the reply.
Yes , force converged and structure relaxation (mini program) for neutral
supercell.
EFG is converged upto required accuracy (EFG data for Ta is attached) for
charged supercell.
###Ta substitution for Ti in STO is a n-type semiconductor. Think it
through.###
Yes sir. But i do not dope Ta directly. It's by way of nuclear
transmutation, Ta forms at site of Ti. Hafnium-181 (radioactive and a TDPAC
probe) is doped in STO. Hf-181 (stable OS: +4) decays into Ta-181 (stable
OS: +5).

I will try to repeat calculation with 6.5.

Just one more thing, very recently i noticed that space group is not
mentioned in case.struct file after structure relaxation (case.struct file
already attached in previous mail).  Do " x sgroup" need to run after
structrue relaxation also. Before structure relaxation, space group was :
123 P4/mmm as determined by sgroup programme.

Thanking you,
A. kumar
