Dear all, 
i’m trying to make a scf calculation for having the DOS of tetragonal zirconia. But it doesn’t reach convergence. Can anyone help me define where i’m making mistakes? 
Thanks in advance,

The code is:

                 calculation = 'scf' ,
                restart_mode = 'from_scratch' ,
                      outdir = '/home/***/QE/espresso-5.0.2/tmp/' ,
                  pseudo_dir = '/home/***/upf_files/' ,
                      prefix = 'tetragonal' ,
                     disk_io = 'default' ,
