Hi

i am trying to make 2 layers of Polyvinyl alcohol
its unit cell has 2 chains of  [-CH2CHOH]i.e. 14 atoms using supercell(1 3
2) ,lattice parametre (7.83, 2.52, 5.51, 90, 91.7,90)
layers formed if NumCGSteps  0
but as i go for relaxation with  NumCGSteps 500 to 800
all bond breaks.........chain structure deformed
how can i go for relaxation?what can be reason behind breakage of
structure?strong hydogen bonding?
should i go with change in lattice parameters?



thanks
