Pavan,
If I'm not mistaken there was a bug in the extrapolation of the DM in siesta 
3.0-b - sometimes it would lead to such problems. However, I think this bug has 
been fixed in the latest release candidates. If you don't wish to change the 
version of Siesta, then you should disable the DM extrapolation.

Hi All,

I am trying to perform calculations on ZnO nanowires.


I have no problems with the smaller wires but the larger wires have SCF 
convergence issues. For larger wires (192 atom) I get too large  free energy 
and dDmax values and SCF does not converge.  I varied the DM.NumberPulay from 
3-8 and the mixing weight from to about 0.01 and below but it did not help. I 
am attaching my output files. Would be glad if anyone could help.



Thanks,

Pavan.
