Dear Anuja, I don't have experience with this system and don't know how big the total energy is. however, your convergence threshold for electrons (1.d-6) looks a bit loose. that might result in not so accurate forces and, as a result, ionic/cell steps are taken in the wrong direction. Try to

[QE-users] Relaxation of Fe2O3

2019-07-28 Thread Anuja Chanana
Dear users, I am trying to relax the bulk structure of alpha-Fe2O3 in the rhombohedral crystal structure. The ground state is +--+. However, the crystal lattice doesn't relax and the total energy values keep fluctuating rather than showing any convergence. The following is the input file
