Dear Paolo

I have changed different parameters of my structure such as mixing_beta,
conv_thr,  smearing and stomic positions but the error is remaining. How
can I fix this problem?

My previous relax and scf calculation for this structure with one Au atom
has been running without any problem:

output of scf calculation:
