Dear Prof. Blaha & Prof. Tran,<br>
<br>
I have started Full HYbrid with alpha = 0.05 from scratch ( I have restored the GGA calculation in a new folder & started the Hybrid after that). Let see what will happen.<br>
Thanks for your advice.<br>
<br>
with regards,<br>

But with GGA+U the simulated voltage is not matching with experiment...<br>

If your present calculation "diverged", I'd restore the GGA+U calculation.<br>
