Dear Leo, Thank you for your attention to this matter. We had lowered DM before asking question. We took your suggestion and copied DM and TSDE file from zero voltage. and also lowered the bias step. But the system is not still converging. Is the version of used package is important? what version

Dear Esmaeil, Thank you for your kind helps. We have done this before but it didn't work and the problem was still outstanding. Best wishes, Maryam Jamaati On Sun, Nov 11, 2018 at 12:32 AM Esmaeil Farajpour Bonab < e.farajpou...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Maryam, > > Please consider to what it is

Hello, First of all, I wonder why you are using so many k-points along z given the size of this system in this direction. Regarding your question, I have two suggestions: 1) lower your DM.mixing 2) lower your bias step. Right now you should be taking your converged DM or TSDE obtained at zero

Dear Siesta users, We are trying to calculate the I-V characteristic of a hybrid structure. For zero bias voltage Transiesta converges very fast. But for other bias voltages it doesn't converge even after 1000 step. The fdf file is attached. I would be pleased if one could help us to solve the

Dear Maryam, Please consider to what it is recommended to do during different finite bias calculations: manual page 125. You could increase the MaxSCFIterations first, if it does not work during for example 5000 iteration, you can change either the value of DM.MixingWeight or DM.NumberPulay. I
