First of all:

I hope you have done KFe2As2 bulk first.
Since it contains Fe, it could be that it is magnetic (FM or AFM ? check literature) and one should use runsp Check out if a magnetic moment persists, this answers your question if you should use run or runsp

Why do you initialize with RKMAX=9.5 ??? This is not necessary but slows down the calculations by a factor of up to 100 !!!

Use: init -prec 1 (for a reasonable accuracy) or 2 (for very good convergence, which I would use only at the very end once the surface is fully relaxed)

For a magnetic surface it is not unusually that the scf needs many cycles (depending on your case even 100 or so), and the minimization may take several hundreds of cycles (therefore one does it with low RKMAX and fewer k-points).

Dear all,
I am doing the optimization with the surface slab of KFe2As2.
When i use "run_lapw",it can be convergent with fc 20 in 21 cycles.
And when i use "runsp_lapw",it doesnt converge in fc 20.

I would like to know if spin polarization calculation is necessary for optimization.
They both do the initialization.
"Init_lapw -b -vxc 13 -ecut -10 -rkmax 9.5 -numk 100 -fermit 0.002"

"Init_lapw -b -vxc 13 -ecut -10 -rkmax 9.5 -numk 100 -fermit 0.002 -sp"
With regards.
