Re: [QE-users] Covergence problem with different size of cell

[Jiawei Zhao via users]

Dear Prof. Husak Michal.


Thanks for your reply. I did had a discussion about applying dispersion 
correction in those carbide and initially the DFT-D3 is applied. However a 
colleague with much more experience suggested otherwise. Also there are a few 
papers using PBE without DFT-D3 to calculate the cell parameters of early 
transition metal carbide. An example is given 
here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359645420307254


Thanks for point out the typo in the tstress. it will be corrected at once.


However, it seems that the convergence problem is not related to those two 
points, which is still puzzling me.

It this a really functional file ?


&nbsp; tstress&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; = ture
******************

This can not work - tstress= .true.

I do not see any dispersion correction with PBE functional usage + cell 
parameter relaxation ...
This usually give nonsense cell parameters ...
