internal error in RAD_INT: RHOPS /= RHOAE

[asaaravindh]

hi all...
i am trying to optimise a bilayer of fe/co in the bcc(111) direction with interface mixing of atoms... the program stops after 3 ionic iterations with the following error
internal error in RAD_INT: RHOPS /= RHOAE
can anybody pls tell me wat is wrong
this is my INCAR file

System = Fe/Co
ALGO = FAST
IALGO = 8 ! 8: CG, 48: DIIS algorithm for electrons
ISMEAR = 1 ! 1: Fermi
SIGMA = 0.20 ! Smearing factor
PREC = High ! sets cutoff and FFT grid
ENCUT = 300 ! planewave energy cutoff
EDIFF = 1E-07 ! energy stoping criterion for electronic iteration
#EDIFFG = -0.000001
ICHARG = 2 ! start from scratch
ISTART = 0 ! start from scratch
NPAR = 1
NBANDS = 300
ISPIN = 2
MAGMOM = 8*2.2 8*1.72
RWIGS = 1.302 1.302
!LORBIT = 11
LPLANE = .TRUE.! distribute each wave over processors
MAXMIX = 40 ! mixing tag

LREAL = .TRUE. ! use real space projection of PPs
LWAVE = .FALSE.! do write WAVECAR file
LCHARG = .FALSE. ! do write CHGCAR file
LVTOT = .FALSE. !do not write LOCPOT file

Ionic relaxation
NSW = 50 ! # of steps in optimization (default 0!)
ISIF = 3 ! 0: relax ions, 1,2:relax ions,calc stresses, 3:relax ion+cell
IBRION = 2 ! 1: quasi-NR, 2:CG algorithm for ions
NFREE = 10 ! number of DIIS vectors to save
POTIM = 0.5 ! reduce trial step in optimization
LSCALCU = .FALSE.
NSIM = 4

it makes no sense to set ISIF=3 for a system like yours (with a large vacuum region and a bilayer slab). Therefore most probably the error is a follow-up of unreasonable lattice optimization (please check the data of your geometry changes in OUTCAR to verify whether this is true). You might try to use ISIF=4 to optimize the in-plane lattice constants automatically, but I suppose that you will have to do this optimization by hand
