[QE-users] relax : convergence NOT achieved after 80 iterations: stopping (Lucian D. Filip)

That (using scf_must_converge=.false. is a very vary bad advice. If the system is not converging after 80 iterations most likely there's something wrong. This could be the pseudo, the geometry, or any thing. You should check the convergence rate between each step and see if it fluctuate and of h

[Pw_forum] dos with hybrid calculations

Ciao Lorenzo I am not sure but one problem could be that you're using cosab 0.5 (60 degrees) instead of cosab=-0.5 (120 degrees) another one (again just a guess) is your cut-off seems to be really low even for an ultrasoft pseudopotential. anyway, you should try with this electron setting m
