Dear Prof. Jürg Hutter,

Thank you very much for your response. I changed the basis sets for the
atom types, and the simulation started.

However, the energy significantly increases during the first step of the
scf field calculation.

Below is my input file.

Could you expect that it is due to the standard PW cut-off or "small" basis
set?
