Attempting to perform relaxation using initial lattice constant guess of a = 1.0 Angstroms (c/a fixed at sqrt(8/3))

Failed to perform relaxation w.r.t. 'a' with c/a fixed at sqrt(8/3) and an initial guess of a = 1.0 Angstroms
Exception message:
Attempted to evaluate energy at a = 0.49999999999999956 Angstroms and c = 0.8164965809277253 Angstroms; the model cutoff was estimated to be 5.000000004544876 Angstroms.  This may mean that the model does not possess close-range repulsive forces to prevent system collapse.  In order to prevent possible neighbor list overflow, both a and c must be greater than 0.1 times the model cutoff...
