Dear Prof. Eyvaz,
                   Thank you very much for your reply In response to your 
advice regarding the inaccuracy in structure input for tetragonal PbTiO3, I 
checked the literature and thus have taken  the structural input 
parameteres(lattice constant,c/a and atomic positions)from PRL 80,1998,4321 and 
done the convergence test. conv_threshold used now is 1e-12
  The result is as follows.Could you please let me know whether the convergence 
is good or not.

 highest occupied, lowest unoccupied level (ev):     9.6746   12.5554

!    total energy              =  -333.71409381 Ry
     Harris-Foulkes estimate   =  -333.71409381 Ry
     estimated scf accuracy    <        5.8E-13 Ry

     The total energy is the sum of the following terms:

     one-electron contribution =   -94.69940998 Ry
     hartree contribution      =    73.25826560 Ry
     xc contribution           =   -49.63383021 Ry
     ewald contribution        =  -262.63911922 Ry

     convergence has been achieved in  19 iterations
