Hello all,

Thank you for the prompt response. I would like to provide an update
regarding the convergence issue. QE 7.3 performs significantly better in
handling spin-polarized calculation with mGGA functional, I did a
comparative SCF calculation using r2SCAN on QE 7.2 and 7.3. In summary,
QE7.3 had no convergence issue at high kinetic energy cutoff for
wavefunctions (ecutwfc > 100Ry).

Thanks,
Jing Lian Ng
