How to set to make the iSCF converge?
« on: May 30, 2010, 14:43 »
hello, everyone
The set I made for scf calculation are listed as follow:
the energyshift 50 meV, ElectronicTemperature 300 K, DM.MixingWeight 0.25, DM.NumberPulay 6, mesh Cutoff 240 Ry,MaxSCFIterations 500
but,  it can not converge for scf calculation.

Are there any other parameters to be set for convergence of DM scf calculation? please help me ! thank you ! the elements used in that calculation are C, B, P.

Why you tune the energy shift?  First try the default value for the energy shift.

The input format resembles a older version of ATK.
