Dear QE Users and Developers,
I am doing a 100 atomic interface calculation . When I relaxed the 100
atomic bulk with conv_thr=1.D-10 , the estimated scf accuracy remains
constant like
estimated scf accuracy < 0.00000004 Ry until the maximum
iterations reaches. I reduced my conv_thr value to 1.D-8 and getting the
same problem. Here I am using
smearing="mv"
degauss=0.05
mixing_beta = 0.3 . I had also played with various degauss and beta
values but the result did not improve. By the above parameters and with a
conv_thr=1.D-7 the scf is converging. The same problem occurs in *slab
interface* *with dipole correction* while relaxing the structure. For slab
calculation I did a single scf without dipole then I started from the
previous potential for optimization but the above problem still persisting .
How to converge the scf cycle with a lower conv_thr=1.D-9 or -10 ? Any
help would be highly appreciated.
