<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div>I have a query regarding reliability of GGA+SOC result when one restart the calculation from the LDA+SOC potential. I use <b>pbe fully relativistic</b> pseudopotential for my calculations. But the SCF did not converge with PBE+SOC . Hence I choose input_dft="LDA" and did the calculation which leads to a fine convergence. Then, I restart my calculation (from lda+soc generated potential) again switching back to PBE through input_dft="PBE" and the scf finally converged with GGA+SOC . But I do not understand how much I can rely on this result. Any help would be highly appreciated .</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards,</div><div><br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Paresh Chandra Rout<div>Research Scholar</div><div>Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal</div><div>India </div></div></div></div>
