[Pw_forum] Cannot achieve SCF convergence when attempting to relax bulk MoS2

[Dan Rubin]

I am just starting to use this software so i have undoubtedly made a simple
mistake, however I cannot seem to get SCF convergence after 100
itterations. Here is the input file I am using:

&CONTROL
title = MoS2_relax ,
calculation = 'relax' ,
wf_collect = .true. ,
outdir = '/home/users/drubin/MoS2/temp/' ,
wfcdir = '/home/users/drubin/MoS2/cpu_temp/' ,
pseudo_dir = '/home/users/drubin/MoS2/pseudo/' ,
prefix = 'MoS2_relax' ,
verbosity = 'high' ,
tprnfor = .true. ,
/
&SYSTEM
ibrav = 4,
celldm(1) = 5.972,
celldm(3) = 24.472,
nat = 6,
ntyp = 2,
ecutwfc = 48 ,
ecutrho = 407 ,
exxdiv_treatment = 'gygi-baldereschi' ,
/
&ELECTRONS
diagonalization = 'david' ,
diago_david_ndim = 8,

&IONS

Any help is greatly appreciated.
