[Pw_forum] Au relaxation error

[Mohamed.Majdoub at mail.uh.edu]

Dear users,

Thanks professor 
I am a new pwscf user. I have been trying to do a geometry relaxation of a gold nanocluster (few wunit cells of Au). The objective is to put this metal in contact with an MgO insulator and relax the 2 structures to find out the optimal interface configuration. As a first trial, I am relaxing only the Au alone. But I keep getting error message. The Au has fcc unit cell with lattice constant 4.0783 angstrom = 7.70687 a.u.
