Dear Akkarach, Try to converge better the ground-state calculation: use conv_thr in the range from 10^{-10} to 10^{-15}. Indeed, as Mahmoud suggested try to lower alpha_mix(1) to 0.1 or so. In general, do you observe significant changes in the band structure of SrCoO3 when you use a +U

Dear Akkarach, You may play with "alpha_mix(i)", where i is the iteration number. HTH Mahmoud --- Mahmoud Payami NSTRI, AEOI, Tehran, Iran Email: mpay...@aeoi.org.ir Phone: +98 (0)21 82066504

[QE-users] Phonons for a metal with DFT+U at finite q-points

2021-11-26 Thread Akkarach Sukserm via users
Dear QE developer and users: I am trying to calculate phonons for a metal with DFT+U at finite q-points (different from Gamma) with the ph.x code. With a few exceptions (very low U), the self-consistent iteration of the phonon calculation does not converge. My system is a SrCoO3 which is a metal
