Dear all,

Indeed I mistakedly confounded the conv_thr and ecutwfc values. Looking at the instructions I see now that ecutwfc is a value in Rydbergs. One reason for my mistake is that the ecutwfc values suggested for Co and Sn in the pseudos I used are 0.00 Ry; I did not go further, if I had looked for the pseudos of Ge and N I would have seen that the suggested values are around 40 Ry.

I will change the ecutwfc values to an average of those given by Giuseppe, and might test a few others.

Thanks to all,

José C. Conesa

Dear José

Maybe you are mistaking ecutwfc (in namelist &system) with conv_thr (in namelist &electrons). The former is the wavefunction cutoff (in Ry). Its generally meaningful values, depending on pseudopotential type, are in a 25~250 Ry range. Thus your 1.0D-8 value is absurdly small. The latter is the convergence threshold for wavefunctions in the iterative scf steps. Its default value is 1.0D-6 and may be lowered down to 1.0D-10 for different kinds of general-purpose calculation.

Without seeing sssp convergence tests, I would expect for your pseudopotentials values around

ecutwfc=40~60 Ry
ecutrho=320~600 Ry

Quoting José Carlos Conesa Cegarra <jccon...@icp.csic.es>:

I mean,

ecutwfc=1.0D-8

   Even decreasing ecutwfc by two orders of magnitude the error
