well, to see if the system that you calculated is actually
what you thought it is, you could use the QE postprocessing
tools and dump the charge density and spin density and visualize it.
if they are where they should be and the location of the atoms
match what you expect, then you have a good chance that you
made no serious error in the input...
cheers,
axel.
