Dear August,

  Adding to Flo's answer, did you realise that your cell is so small that
the periodic replicas of the electron density might even overlap somewhat,
not to mention a strong dipole-dipole interaction over the cells? (Also
there is no need to use broadening/smearing and probably also not mixing;
the cut-off energy of 300 Ry is a bit on the lower side, maybe still
reasonable with PBE, with BLYP it would be low)

    Greetings from Sunny Zurich,
