I would increase degauss by at least a factor 10. The kind of behavior you have is typical of metals that are not treated as such. degauss=0.001 is very small and it may not have enough effect. For a Gamma-only calculation, K_POINTS gamma is faster (allows the usage of memory- and cpu-saving

Hi David, I think you need not consider the spin polarization for this system, which will accelerate the convergancy. Cheers, Yun On Mon, Apr 21, 2014 at 2:20 AM, David Foster wrote: > Dear users > > I have prepared an input for interaction between CO and Pd(110). I > optimized 3*3*3 supercell

Thanks Axel Yes, in chemistry wee see always the MOs. But in many unknown cases, we should calculate the MOs by computations. To use the codes, we need to define 2S+1. In quantum chemistry codes we use different spin-multiplicity, and we choose each one that give smaller energy. What about

Dear Yun Thanks for your rapid answer. Considering your answer, I have two more questions: 1- In the system I have carbon monoxide. carbon atom has 4 electron in its valance. between O and C there is a triple bond. So, carbon may have one unpaired electron that needs spin-polarization defined.

Dear users I have prepared an input for interaction between CO and Pd(110). I optimized 3*3*3 supercell of Pd bulk, and then cleaved a 110 surface and constructed a slab. I inserted CO molecule which has been optimized with QE5.0.2 in it. Now, I try to optimize this mixed system (CO+Pd(110)).
