Hi,
I have the problem that I want to simulate an organic conductor.
I'm looking for convergence of the total energy with respect to the ecutwfc.
In the end I want to do optical investigations with the yambo program.
As a criterion for convergence I decided to choose a total energy difference of less than one meV per atom between two scf calculations.
ecutwfc tot energy (Ry) tot energy per atom (Ry) tot energy per Atom in eV
80 -3173,1197 -13,4454224576 -182,9342903348
90 -3178,8757 -13,4698122881 -183,2661308812
100 -3183,225 -13,4882415254 -183,5168734262
120 -3189,049 -13,5129194915 -183,852634257

160 -3194,507 -13,5360466102 -184,1672947335
180 -3195,727 -13,5412161017 -184,2376292482
200 -3196,459 -13,5443177966 -184,279829957
220 -3197,176 -13,5473559322 -184,3211658972
240 -3197,176 -13,5473559322 -184,3211658972
260 -3197,34 -13,5480508475 -184,3306207008
280 -3197,446 -13,5485 -184,3367317324
300 -3197,501 -13,5487330508 -184,3399025507
320 -3197,5499 -13,5489402542 -184,3427216964
As you see I can't reach the convergence criterion.
As I understood the ecutwfc which is suitable depends on the used pseudopotentials.
I used these ones from the QE-database:
H 1.00790 H.pz-vbc.UPF
C 12.01100 C.pz-vbc.UPF
F 18.98800 F.pz-hgh.UPF
S 32.06500 S.pz-bhs.UPF
As 74.92200 As.pz-bhs.UPF
Does anybody knows which one causes the necessity of such a high ecutwfc?
Can anybody supply or suggest more suitable pseudos?
Thanks and regards
Stephan
