Dear all,<div><br></div><div>It is my understanding that as one increases the cutoff energy for the wavefunctions, Ecutwfc, the total energy of a given structure should converge towards a minimum. However, when I did this in the case with GaN with GGA, it did not seem to converge and kept dropping energy more as I increased the Ecutwfc. Why is this happening? I will include a sample input file and Excel file showing this behavior.<br>
<br>From the Excel graph, one can see that the total energy appears to converge between 50 Ry and 70 Ry but then began to drop rapidly after that. It appeared to converge again between 100 and 200 Ry but again dropped down rapidly after that.<br>
<br>Sincerely,<br><br>Han Chueh</div>
