Dear Dr. Iurii Timrov, Thanks for the reply. I was trying in different way to converge scf calculation in case of carbon dimer without "smearing". First I converge the system using "smearing" then again I performed the scf calculation by changing the "restart_mode" from "from_scratch" to "restart". In this condition, the scf calculation for carbon dimer is converging & also turbo_davidson.x is possible. Do you think, this is a right approach ??
Also I have observed that if I am using hybrid functional, the system is converging normally (keeping the restart_mode = from_scratch & without "smearing"). Can I compute the absorption spectra for a molecule having triplet ground state using turbo_davidson.x or turbo_lanczos.x ?? Thanks & regards, Prem Sen Ph.D. Student, IIT Bombay, Mumbai,India.
