Dear all,

I've tried calculated the bandstructure for Wurtzite AlN but am running into problems. I started off with experimental values ( a=5.87 a.u. c/a=1.60 and u=0.379), I then kept 
a and u constant and altered c/a. I found an unrealistically small value c/a ( c=0.9). I then tried keeping c/a constant and altering a my scf calculations stopped converging. Perhaps I have a mistake in my input file?
Thank you for your help and advice.
This is the input file for the "scf" calculation

&control
    calculation='scf'
    restart_mode='from_scratch',
    tstress = .true.
    tprnfor = .true.
    prefix='810-28',
    pseudo_dir = '/home/projet/pseudo/',
    outdir='/home/projet/tp/'
 /
 &system
    ibrav=  4, celldm(1) =8.12, celldm(3) =0.9, nat= 4, ntyp= 2,
    ecutwfc =50.0, ecutrho = 600.0,

 &electrons
    diagonalization='david'
    conv_thr = 1.0e-6
    mixing_beta = 0.7
