Thanks for your reply, professor. I found it is dependent on the PPs i chose. For
Fe system, if i used the PP: Fe.pbe-nd-rrkjus.UPF, the calculation would stop in
this case. But if i used Fe.pbe-sp-van.UPF, it was always going. Then, i think the
PPs has significant influence. 

Merry Christmas and happy new year. :)
