Dear users,
I have done a spin-polarized calculation for doped graphene nanomesh, but
when I have tried to add the spin-orbit coupling, the convergence for
relax-calculation did not achieve after 100 iterations. I have not changed
anything in the input file except the PPs and nspin, also I have added
noncolin and lspinorb into the input file.

Input file,
