Your structure file seems to be not correct!

You should have only one inequivalent position and the space group is I 41/a m d.

Here is the structure:

Dear Dr. Tran,

                  I have used both plain GGA & nlvdw independently & in both cases the results are same. I have used Rmr*Kmax=9 for nlvdw & 7 for GGA. Do you think moving to larger Rmt*Kmax may solve the problem? I am currently going through the literature you have sent..

with regards,

    At first sight you struct file seems ok, but this is difficult to
    help you without more details. For instance: Which functional have
    you used? Are you keeping the c/a ratio fixed? Have you looked
    into the literature:

    Dear wien2k users,

                                     I am trying to optimize the
    structure of Beta - Sn. However, even after 20% increment of the
    volume there is no sign of energy minima. I am attaching the
    struct file herewith this mail for your consideration.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    with regards,
