I'm not too surprised. In HSE there is not only a dependency on the density (which is "mixed") but also on the wave functions. This HF potential due to them is "mixed" with 100 %.

Maybe it helps when using a small alpha at the beginning (0.05 instead of 0.25) for the amount of HF (case.inhf), later on increase it when reasonably converged.

PS: I would probably not play with PRATT (except you can clearly decrease :DIS significantly without oszillations) and I don't know what you mean with: "grid to 0.01" ???

Dear Wien2k users,

                      I have started a simulation of ABCO4 oxide material with 64 atomic unit cell using HSE06. However, the energy & charge convergence is oscillating between 0.08-0.008 and 0.5 - 0.2 for around 100 cycles. The same structure was converged using GGA+U. I have used 1 k-point & also change the grid to 0.01 & used PRATT for several cycles now. What could be the remedy?

(1) Is it that we need to use more than 1 k-point for convergence
(2) There is something wrong with the structure (However the same structure is converged with GGA+U)

Looking forward to hearing from you.

with regards,
