[QE-users] relax : convergence NOT achieved after 80 iterations: stopping

It seems that van der Waals (vdW) interactions might be necessary for describing the relaxed structure of this low-dimensional system (as also implicitly suggested by "prefix='vdw'" in the input file). However, the input file suggests that PBEsol is used without a particular vdW correction (see vdw_corr<https://www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/INPUT_PW.html#idm621>). Perhaps, it is the lack of this relevant non-covalent interaction that leads to difficulty in the convergence.

One thing to do is to open your structure with any program capable to process the QE input, e.g. XCrysDen. Attached, you can find a screenshot. I'm not sure that this is the structure you expect to simulate and, mostly, that this is a structure that would easily reach convergence to the ground state.

I was doing a relax calculation for double-layer supercell of Si and MoS2. Given below is my input script. The output file says convergence NOT achieved after 80 iterations. Since the system is double-layer and mixing_beta = 4.0000000000d-01. Still the output file says not converged. What could be the problem ?
