I used conv_thr = 1.0D-9
It seems that the issue is related to pseudopotential. could you suggest ways to mitigate this issue?
here is my ld1.x input

Dear users,

In order to reduce computational cost, I generated a Te pseudopotential with 5s2 5p4 valence using atomic code and conducted convergence test for FeTe.(I used Fe pseudopotential from pseudo-dojo)
But as below, total energy tends to oscillating as ecut goes up. Could this be an issue?


Only if it oscillates more that conv_thr
kind regards


It shows the same pattern as alternating series convergence.
