[Pw_forum] Esm bc2 SCF Convergence issue

2015-10-09 Thread paresh rout
Dear all, I am facing scf convergence problem while doing a calculation on a slab interface by using esm_bc=bc2 .The scf does not converge after 100 iteration .I have given 14 angstrom vacuum in my slab. Here I am providing my input file details. Kindly correct me if something needs to be changed .

Dear Paresh, Basically, the ESM method is completely independent with spin polarization and LDA+U, you can probably use those switches with the ESM. Since the convergence problem with the ESM is frequently coming from the atomic position. Could you attach the whole input file? Best regards, M
