Dear QE Developers
I am performing a geometric optimization (vc-relax) for a 2D material, using
the option "assume_isolated = '2D' " and "cell_dofree ="2Dxy" " ,
and I noticed that the forces do not converge, after 19 steps the forces have
not changed at all, which is unusual:
Total force = 1.788117 Total SCF correction = 0.000035
Total force = 1.721481 Total SCF correction = 0.000014
Total force = 1.771077 Total SCF correction = 0.000035
Total force = 1.783843 Total SCF correction = 0.000038
Total force = 1.787049 Total SCF correction = 0.000045
Total force = 1.787844 Total SCF correction = 0.000099
Total force = 1.788047 Total SCF correction = 0.000158
Total force = 1.788094 Total SCF correction = 0.000006
Total force = 1.721474 Total SCF correction = 0.000058
Total force = 1.771077 Total SCF correction = 0.000070
Total force = 1.783843 Total SCF correction = 0.000016
Total force = 1.787049 Total SCF correction = 0.000036
Total force = 1.787844 Total SCF correction = 0.000068
Total force = 1.788047 Total SCF correction = 0.000117
Total force = 1.788094 Total SCF correction = 0.000286
Total force = 1.721480 Total SCF correction = 0.000099
Total force = 1.771077 Total SCF correction = 0.000050
Total force = 1.783843 Total SCF correction = 0.000058
Total force = 1.787048 Total SCF correction = 0.000058
Total force = 1.787845 Total SCF correction = 0.000140
Total force = 1.788046 Total SCF correction = 0.000172
Total force = 1.788094 Total SCF correction = 0.000004
Total force = 1.721474 Total SCF correction = 0.000055
Total force = 1.771077 Total SCF correction = 0.000035
Total force = 1.783843 Total SCF correction = 0.000039
Total force = 1.787049 Total SCF correction = 0.000045
Total force = 1.787844 Total SCF correction = 0.000103
Total force = 1.788046 Total SCF correction = 0.000162
without the option "assume_isolated = '2D' " the optimization can be performed
without problems.
