Dear all,

I am performing scf calculation of isolated oxygen atom using SCAN pseudo-potential with gamma points. The calculation stuck in the first iteration and doesn’t progress ahead. I have tried with different smearing but still it stuck at the same point. I have tried with occupations=’fixed’ for which the total energy is fluctuating with random numbers and not converging. I have tried increasing ecutwfc and decreasing convergence threshold, but no change. Some lines of output file as shown below .

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Raj
