Indeed this is an issue with my QE build (I've just tried with a gcc build - and all went fine!), so please disregard my previous email. Best, MK On Tue, 9 Oct 2018 at 10:52, Michal Krompiec wrote: > Hello, > I'm struggling with SCF convergence of something that should be a simple >

Dear Lorenzo, Thank you. I am sure the system is not metallic, the band gap (calculated with PBE) should be around 0.59 eV (vs. experimental 1.41 eV). I tried your suggestions, but with no luck (energy oscillates instead of converging). I tried changing mixing_beta from 0.05 to 0.9, increasing and

Hello, I'm struggling with SCF convergence of something that should be a simple calculation: InP (zincblende structure taken from a CIF). I tried ultra-soft pseudopotentials, PAW, changing the k-point grid, increasing ecutwfc and ecutrho, decreasing mixing_beta and every time the SCF energy is
