The convergence issue may be due to Fe and Ni competing for the "spin acquisition," so hopefully, you can fix the problem by specifying only one starting magnetization, either Fe or Ni or, if there are two solutions, define each of the two alternatives.</div>

Another thing that you may try, if you have a sensible guess for the final magnetization is to first do a calculation with total_magnetization set, then use the hopefully converged density for starting a pure SCF calculation.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Quantum Espresso Developer,<br>
<br>
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding a non-convergence issue that I am encountering in a VC relax calculation using Quantum Espresso.<br>
<br>
I have attached the input files and relevant details of the simulation for your reference. Despite multiple attempts and adjustments to the input parameters, the calculation fails to converge satisfactorily. <br>
<br>
I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or guidance you could provide to help resolve this issue. Additionally, if there are any specific troubleshooting steps or alternative approaches that you recommend, please do not hesitate to share them.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. Your expertise and support are invaluable to the Quantum Espresso community, and I am confident that your assistance will help address this challenge effectively.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your response.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Shashank Shekhar<br clear="all">
