Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try to go from gygi_baldereschi to vcut_ws as exxdiv_treatment.
Regards,
Valentina

Dear all,
We are performing surface calculations with hybrid functional, and for the following surface structure at the moment the error saying: 'dexx is negative, error # 1 , check that exxdiv_treatment is appropriate for the system' is giving us some troubles. We already tried to change the distance between surfaces, changing celldm(3), around its optimized value 2.39, we changed also mixing_beta to 0.3, and we tried with few different k point grids. None of this attempt was successful in solving the error. We also changed the occupations to smearing, and we gave a small degauss (1d-20), but then (with many celldm(3)) it was not even converging the first scf.
Any suggestion on how to fix this error?
Thank you,
Regards,
Valentina
