If your system has a band gap and is nonmagnetic, and you are interested in the electronic structure (band structure, DOS) then you may consider to use the option -diaghf (see user's guide for details), which consists of doing just one iteration on top of a PBE calculation.

My query is, should we consider that a maximum charge convergence of 0.1 to 0.01 is actually achievable with full hybrid? we are getting electrochemical voltage well-matched with the experient with cc 0.1 to 0.01. However, whether DOS will be reliable?

As this parameter is not leading to the convergence, I have stopped it. (2) I have executed clean_lapw to remove case.vectorhf from earlier calculation (3) Set alpha=0.05 & started the simulation Although I have reached the energy convergence criteria 0.0001, the charge convergence is oscillating around 0.01. Should I decrease alpha, even more, to get the charge convergence & eventually get back to alpha=0.25 at the end after getting the required convergence? with regards, [https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif] -- Dr. Shamik Chakrabarti Research Fellow Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Patna Bihta-801103 Patna Bihar, India _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at<mailto:Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at> http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html -- Dr. Shamik Chakrabarti Research Fellow Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Patna Bihta-801103 Patna Bihar, India -- Dr. Shamik Chakrabarti Research Fellow Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Patna Bihta-801103 Patna Bihar, India _______________________________________________ Wien mailing list Wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/wien SEARCH the MAILING-LIST at: http://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/index.html
