8 Ang. is probably a minimum for a realistic simulation. It depends to a
large extent on what you plan to do with the results: how much you are looking
for qualitative behavior vs. quantiative analysis. I generally use 12-15
Ang. as a buffer, but there is nothing magical about such a value. It is
probably the case that even larger cells would be required to obtained results
that were "converged" in terms of cell size.
