Dear all

I am trying to perform a relaxation calculation on Cu2O supercell (47
atoms) with a substitutional dopant and Cu vacancy. The forces between
atoms are not converged. What could possibly be wrong, someone kindly guide
me. I first performed a relaxation calculation with dopant alone and used
the relaxed structure to create vacancy.

The input file used for calculation:

&CONTROL
    calculation     = 'relax',
    prefix          = 'sriram',
    verbosity       = 'high'
    outdir          = '/scratch/nithish.k/out/',
    pseudo_dir      = './',
    forc_conv_thr   = 1.d-5,
    etot_conv_thr   = 1.d-8,

&SYSTEM
    a     =  8.60800
    ibrav = 1
    nat   = 47
    ntyp  = 3
    ecutwfc     = 180
    occupations = 'smearing'
    smearing  = 'gaussian'
    degauss   = 0.001
    nbnd      = 500
