Hi all, I've been running a vc_relax calculation on a 40 atom system. The calculation works fine for some cycles. The total force had come down to 0.108. After some time. the force started increasing and now the iterations don't converge even in 400 steps. The input file is / &SYSTEM ibrav = 0, nat = 40, ntyp = 1, ecutwfc = 12 , / &ELECTRONS mixing_beta = 0.3 , diagonalization = 'david' , electron_maxstep = 200 , /
[&Ions/] / &CELL cell_dynamics= 'sd' , cell_dofree='xy' , / CELL_PARAMETERS angstrom 22.265358047804796 0.000000000000000 0.000000000000000 0.000000000000000 11.131216979724510 0.000000000000000 0.000000000000000 0.000000000000000 10.000000000000000 P.S. Ive tried changing cell dynamics to 'damp-pr' , 'sd' and 'damp-w', but the same problem persists. Can anybody Please help me identifying the mistake ? Thank You.
