Hi,

Convergence with ZGNR is a bit of a tough issue in fact. I also struggle
with the 6-ZGNR myself. DZP basis and spin polarized system with small
bandgap and quite flat bands near the gap is a tough problem. I played with
DM mixing parameter and algorithm, played with temperature, played with cell
sizes to avoid any eggbox issue, played with k-points, used DM kicking,
increased-decreased cut-off values and still for bias voltage larger than
0.25 V, convergence is hell. I use the previously converged DM and TSDE from
other lower bias calculations as well, to no avail.

If you succeed in getting convergence, please share your input parameters
with us.

Cheers
