<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear Dr. Iurii Timrov,<br></div> Thanks again for your valuable reply.<br></div>I knew, how to check the convergence using both the codes but to cross verify myself, I asked you the question. Now I get the same absorption spectra for CH4 molecule using both the code (turbo_lanczos.x & turbo_davidson.x). <br><br></div>I was also trying for Carbon-dimer. But I am facing a basic problem. Without using, occupations = "smearing", this system is not getting converged. If I use "smearing", turbo_davidson.x or turbo_lanczs.x is not possible. I have tried with different kinds of PPs, "mixing_mode" and "mixing_beta". Is there any solution for this problem ??<br><br></div><div>For Example I have used ::<br><br>&CONTROL<br> calculation = "scf",<br> restart_mode = "from_scratch"<br> prefix = "C2",<br> pseudo_dir = "../pseudo/",<br> outdir = "./tmp/",<br>/<br>&SYSTEM<br> ibrav = 0,<br>! celldm(1) = 20,<br> nat = 2,<br> ntyp = 1,<br> ecutwfc = 25,<br> ecutrho = 250,<br> nosym = .true.,<br>! occupations = "smearing",<br>! smearing = "mv",<br>! degauss = 0.001,<br>/<br>&ELECTRONS<br> diagonalization='david'<br> mixing_mode = 'plain'<br> mixing_beta = 0.6,<br> conv_thr = 1.0d-8<br>/<br>CELL_PARAMETERS angstrom<br>15.0 0.0 0.0<br> 0.0 15.0 0.0<br> 0.0 0.0 15.0<br>ATOMIC_SPECIES<br>C 12.01 C.pbe-rrkjus.UPF<br>ATOMIC_POSITIONS (angstrom)<br>C 1.255833278 0.000000000 0.000000000<br>C 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000<br>K_POINTS {Gamma}<br><br></div><div><br></div><font size="-1">Thanks & regards,<br>
