Dear users,
I am working on doping graphene nanomesh with scandium. I did scf
calculation and it did well. Then I ran nscf, but always got an error
message: "*Too many bands are not converged*". I have tried to increase
*ecutwfc* from 45 to 80 , but got the same error. Also, I have tried to
decrease *conv_thr* to 1.0e-9, but the same error. However, I was working
with the graphene nanomesh without Sc atom, and the scf and nscf
calculations were doing well.
The input files are following:
scf.in:
