Dear all,

I'm doing the calculation about Mn interstitial on GaAs surface, 
after more than ten interations during the relax, the total energy is 
not increased, here is the last part of output total energy:

How could I improve the convergency by changing the parameters in my
script file? I aatached some of my input in this email.

     total energy              = -1348.23819235 ryd
     total energy              = -1327.13011185 ryd

     total energy              = -1350.11374237 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.11892289 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.11984485 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.12041556 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.12041117 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.11863313 ryd

     total energy              = -1350.12101537 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.12101720 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.12102032 ryd
!    total energy              = -1350.12102196 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.10301618 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.09532002 ryd
     total energy              = -1349.98729907 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.08369536 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.10486963 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.10692727 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.10705666 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.10706439 ryd
     total energy              = -1350.10707944 ryd
