IV points convergence problem
« on: December 15, 2023, 06:43 »
Hello all,
 For the past 4 months, I have been trying to calculate the IV characteristics of the doped WS2 material.
1. With the tutorial's guidance, I first transformed hexagonal WS2 into a unit cell. Then I calculated the IV. But the problem is all the points are not converging.
2. Then I tried various  modifications like,
   * Increase the length of the device's central region
   * Increase the length of the electrodes.
   * boundary conditions (periodic in AxB, Dirichlet in C)
   * increasing the k-points (1x1x150, 1x1x200, 4x4x150, 2x3x150)
   * for initial density use equivalent bulk
   * Poisson solver (multigrid, conjugate gradient solver)
   * Increased the density mesh cut-off energy (40H, 125H)
But still, in IV the given points are not converged.

Hi,

Try changing parameters in iteration settings in LCAO device calculator or
Say suppose 0.1 is not converging use 0.11 or 0.15 instead.
