Out of curiosity, wouldn’t a low cutoff (not that one should use it) miss a ghost state (that is very localized)? In passing, sssp pseudos are tested re not having ghosts, and have default suggested cutoffs. Just make sure you use the latest version 1.3 Nicola Sent from a tiny keyboard...

The calculation is not only not converging, it is actually diverging. Changing alpha_mix and increasing nmix_ph can help, but it may also indicate something wrong with the calculation. I.e. a metal treated as semiconductor, or a ghost in the pseudopotential (which may be likely if you use

Hello All, I was running Phonon for a few systems of carbonate minerals for a long time. Recently I used SSSP pseudopotential for PBE and faced a problem like the one pasted below. Optimization and SCF calculations are properly done. But phonon calculation is not converging. Please help. I
