well, I don't think your input file is suitable.<br>
First, IONS part is useless for scf calculation, second your ecutwfc
is likely too small.<br>
What people usually do is to perform runs with different value of
ecutwfc and ecutrho and see when the calculation get converged.<br>
I don't think you have read well enough the tutorials available
online.<br>
Before using TB09 functional you have to make sure everything goes
well with a regular one.<br>
You definitely have to read more about what you are doing.<br>

主题:Re: [Pw_forum] Tb09-MetaGGA convergence problem
i'm not sure whether you are using the TB09, check the beginning of the outfile.
As soon as I've time, I'll make the test myself.
Can you share your input file ?
I think you are using TPSS pseudopotential not TB09.

<pre wrap="">Dear Éric Germaneau,
I did a test on gap of Silicon using tb09. This time I used a another pseudopotential (Si.tpss-mt.UPF)
and it converged lastly. But the gap converged to 1.75 eV, larrger than experimental results （1.17eV）.
I saw a literature on the gap calculaion with MBJ (tb09) for silicon, and it showed that theoretical results coincide with that in experiment. I an confused.
A few days ago, I tried to installed the libxc linked to QE, and my procedure was the following,
1. intall libxc;
2. install QE and modify make.sys,
(DFLAGS = -D__LIBXC -D__INTEL -D__FFTW -D__MPI -D__PARA -D__SCALAPACK $(MANUAL_DFLAGS
LD_LIBS = -L/home/plgong/software/QE512/libxc-2.2.2/lib -lxcf90 -lxc)
The above make QE linkig libxc sucessfully.
But, I have a question: I do not understand the tips
1. move to libxc, getting rid of all duplicated functionals, keeping only
those that are not available in libxc;
2. add the possibility to use any functional from libxc (currently only a few
can be used). This may require serious restructuring work in our XC
functional (il-)logic, that has become clumsy, obscure and redundant.
Whether the above installation leads to larger gap in my test?
Best wishes
P L Gong

I'll install it and make the test.
Just give me some little time please.

<pre wrap="">Dear pwscf_user,
Recently, I used the tb09 (Meta-GGA) in the version of QE5.1.2, but it aways did not converge.
The error is like,
'Error in routine cdiaghg (23):
eigenvectors failed to converge'
I have performed too much tests on Ecutoff, k_points, degauss, as well as reduce mixing. What should I do?
