Hello! I ran a few calculations and found that use of assume_isolated=esm messes with bfgs somewhat fierce in my system. After skimming the docs, I found the esm_nfit parameter that says something about polynomial interpolation with 4 point grid by default. This is a rather small value, especially considering I use a supercell 18x12x30 A with ~10 rows of atoms in Z-directions.
Am I right that increasing this value should help? If so, is there any suggestion for a good initial value? (It seems to me that it should be something like several tens if not a few hundreds for my system....)
