Dear B S,

I've had a look at your input, I see that the C-N distance is already quite small at the beginning, and become even smaller after a couple of iteration; definitely smaller that the core radius of the two pseudopotentials used, which is a typical cause of diagonalisation problems.

You should try using some harder pseudopotentials, I've attached two hard pseudopotential fro mthe pslibrary of Andrea Dal Corso (do not forget to cite), which should do the trick. Take care of converging the cutoff. UPDATE: I'm not attaching the pseudos because they don't pass in the list, I'm sending them privately in a minute

Please let us know if this solves your problem!

kind regards

Dear Dr. Lorenzo,

I think the error is occurring in the 4th optimization step.
I have attached the output file for your reference.


Awaiting your kind response.

    is it at the first structural relaxation step or later? I'm afraid
    that doing a vc-relax of a small supercell with a defect could
    cause an unphysical crunch

    Dear Expert,

    I was getting the below error while trying to vc-relax a doped
    graphene.
    can you please suggest why is it occurring??


         iteration #  9     ecut=    30.00 Ry     beta=0.70
         Davidson diagonalization with overlap
