[QE-users] SOC SCF not converging

[Barsha Pal]

Hello,
I am running with this system card, a scf run, but the scf is not
converging till 140 steps, what can I do to finish the job ? Also for soc
calculations to converge is there any important parameter that I am missing
?


    degauss     =  0.01
    ecutwfc     =  170
    ecutrho     =  680
    ibrav       =  6
    nat         =  8
    ntyp        =  3
    occupations = "smearing"
    smearing    = "mv"
    noncolin = .true.
    lspinorb = .true.
    starting_magnetization(1) =   0.5
    starting_magnetization(2) =  -0.5
